When a leader reaches out in passion, he is usually met with an answering passion.

What am I doing with the gifts that have been given and the opportunities that are mine to make things better for others? I think it's always - success has to be beyond the person who is themselves working for personal success. It's also got to be helping someone else.

Holding a grudge is never positive or appropriate.

People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.

Credibility is a leader's currency. With it, he or she is solvent; without it, he or she is bankrupt.

People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision. Many people who approach the area of vision in leadership have it backwards. They believe that if the cause is good enough, people will automatically buy in and follow. But that's not how leadership works. People don't follow worthy causes; they follow worthy leaders with a cause they can believe in. They buy into the leader first.

Seek people who seek solutions.
