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.

Have to sow excellent seeds to have an excellent life. Must start with sowing excellent thoughts.

Creativity requires the willingness to look stupid.

Without a vision people in leadership positions perish. You not only lose your people, you lose the person who is in a leadership position - you lose it all.

Even if you've had a negative effect on others in the past, you can turn that around and make your impact a positive one.

Become a coach, not a king. A coach brings out the best in others, helping them to reach deep down inside and discover their potential. A king only gives commands.

The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to...failure.
