Openness by the leader paves the way for ownership by the people. Without ownership, changes will be short term.

Every twenty minutes the instructions must be rewritten, unless ownership is given along with instructions.

Might you be missing opportunities because you have been too quick to ask how instead of why?

Our attitude is the primary force that will determine whether we succeed or fail.

Leadership is not a right-it is a responsibility.
