Insecure leaders think everything is about them, and as a result, every action, every piece of information, every decision is put through their filter of self-centeredness.

People who love life have charisma because they fill the room with positive energy.

Leaders must live by higher standards than their followers.

Leaders are less interested in their position and more interested in their positive impact on others.

When the leader lacks confidence, the followers lack commitment.

Look at our society. Everyone wants to be thin, but nobody wants to diet. Everyone wants to live long, but few will exercise. Everybody wants money, yet seldom will anyone budget or control their spending.

Trust must be built day by day. It calls for consistency.
