If you think you are the entire picture, you will never see the big picture.

We overestimate the event and underestimate the process. Every fulfilled dream occurred because of dedication to the process.

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.

If you're not failing, you're probably not really moving forward.

So think long and hard about who you're spending the most time with, for wherever they are headed, so are you.

Always take the high road.

All great leaders have understood that their number one responsibility is cultivating their own discipline and personal growth. Those who cannot lead themselves cannot lead others.
