People are motivated by fear, but they are not inspired by it. Everything that inspires us comes from love.

Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine.

Followers are the customers of the Higher Ground Leader, who strives to meet or exceed the outer and inner needs of followers.

Surely we have a responsibility to finally listen to - and honor - the siren calls of our souls, which have been silenced by our egos throughout our lives? How else can we connect with our essence, the source of our calling?

Excellence in our society is less a product of conflict and hostility than of collaboration.

Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration-of oneself and of others. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes. Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine.
