Trust grows when people see leaders translate their personal integrity into organizational fidelity. At the heart of fidelity lies truth-telling and promise-keeping.

Trust comes only with genuine effort, never with a lick and a promise.

Leadership is much more an art, a belief, a condition of the heart, than a set of things to do.

The greatest thing is, at any moment, to be willing to give up who we are in order to become all that we can be.

In most vital organizations, there is a common bond of interdependence, mutual interest, interlocking contributions, and simple joy.

We can choose to see life as a series of trials and tribulations, or we can choose to see life as an accumulation of treasures.

We see a decline of civility, and, sadly, it’s often modeled by the very people from whom we have the least right to expect it.
