I am convinced more than ever that good communication and leadership are all about connecting. If you can connect with others at every level -one-on-one, in groups, and with an audience-your relationships are stronger, your sense of community improves, your ability to create teamwork increases, your influence increases, and your productivity skyrockets.

People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude.

To add value to others, one must first value others.

Not everyone will become a great leader, but everyone can become a better leader.

Birds of a feather really do flock together.

The boss inspires fear; the leader inspires enthusiasm.

Integrity is important in building relationships. And is the foundation upon which many other qualities for success are built, such as respect, dignity, and trust.
