To reach your potential you must grow. And to grow, you must be highly intentional about it.

Experience teaches nothing, but evaluated experience teaches everything.

Don’t tell them what you’re going to do - that’s vision. Do what you are going to do – that’s culture.

Management is the process of assuring that the program and objectives of the organization are implemented. Leadership on the other hand has to do with casting vision and motivating people.

Connecting is the ability to identify with people and relate to them in a way that increases your influence with them.

As you begin changing your thinking, start immediately to change your behavior. Begin to act the part of the person you would like to become. Take action on your behavior. Too many people want to feel, then take action. This never works.

Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less...titles don't have much value when it comes to leading. True leadership cannot be awarded, appointed, or assigned, it comes only from influence, and that cannot be mandated. It must be earned.
