Most people who decide to grow personally find their first mentors in the pages of books.

When your great players are team players, everybody else follows their lead. The best team doesn't always win - it's usually the team that gets along best.

Openness by the leader paves the way for ownership by the people. Without ownership, changes will be short term. Changing people's habits and ways of thinking is like writing instructions in the snow during a snowstorm. Every twenty minutes the instructions must be rewritten, unless ownership is given along with instructions.

Great leaders always have self-discipline -without exception.

If you want to keep giving you have to keep growing.

Coming together is a beginning, and staying together is progress, but only when teams sweat together do they find success.

The position does not make you a leader. The title, the promotion, the fancy corner office do not make you a leader. No, it is relationships with people that are the foundation, the very heart of leadership. Have you ever worked for someone you didn't like? It's difficult, isn't it? On the other hand, the leader you will follow anywhere and everywhere is one you know cares about you, and values you. This person has your best interests at heart. It is the leader who comes alongside to help you improve and grow.
