Good leaders understand that they are stewards. They must find the best people they can, giving them the opportunity to join in the journey developing them, and encouraging them to reach their potential. But they must hold on to people lightly. Those who start with you seldom finish with you.

The only thing a title can buy is a little time-either to increase your level of influence with others or to undermine it.

A highly credible leader under-promises and over-delivers.

No matter what you are currently able to do, creativity can make you capable of more.

Often people fail to start or complete a task because they don't see any connection between what they're doing and what they really want to accomplish in life.

If you are a leader, you should never forget that everyone needs encouragement. And everyone who receives it - young or old, successful or less-than-successful, unknown or famous - is changed by it.

Birds of a feather really do flock together.
