Too often when people think of their journey into leadership, they envision a career path. What they should be thinking about is their own leadership development!

A word of encouragement from a teacher to a child can change a life. A word of encouragement from a spouse can save a marriage. A word of encouragement from a leader can inspire a person to reach her potential.

Everyone you know and all the people you meet have the potential to be someone important in the lives of others.

Do something you hate every day, just for the practice.

A lot of people believe they are successful because they have everything they want. They have added value to themselves. But I believe significance comes when you add value to others and you can't have true success without significance.

Birds of a feather really do flock together.

Without leadership ability,a person's impact is only a fraction of what it could be with good leadership.
