Progress is often just a good idea away.

Every sailor knows that you can't sail a ship that isn't moving forward, strong leaders understand that to change direction, you first have to create forward progress.

The longer you wait to do something you should do now, the greater the odds that you will never actually do it.

Followers are always watching what you do. And people do what people see! If you are a leader seeking to make your vision come alive, then there is no better way to accomplish this than by living it: Modeling your expectations, setting the example by your actions, and showing the way through leading. Your followers, who are watching, will see in you the living picture of the vision, and you will produce the energy, motivation and passion to keep it going.

It seems the older you get, the more life comes into focus.

Character makes trust possible, and trust is the foundation of leadership.
