Authenticity is your most precious commodity as a leader.

The fact remains that we have an obligation to discover what we really, really, really want to do (which is probably what we do best) and then do it even better... much better.

There's something unique and different that makes a leader, and it's not about creativity or courage or integrity.... A leader's job is to rally people toward a better future.

Americans just love convening. They are a convention-happy country and they love to get together to talk.

True individuality can be lonely.

Obviously, you have to know what you need now and what you will soon need, then hire or promote from within to meet those needs.

Managers are, and should be, totally responsible for recognizing individual strengths (both natural talents and skills), getting those strengths in proper alignment (i.e. in the right "seats"), and then leveraging them.
