We can accomplish more together than we can alone.

Understanding the diversity of our gifts enables us to begin taking the crucial step of trusting each other.

Earning trust is not easy, nor is it cheap, nor does it happen quickly. Earning trust is hard and demanding work. Trust comes only with genuine effort, never with a lick and a promise.

The key elements in the art of working together are how to deal with change, how to deal with conflict, and how to reach our potential...the needs of the team are best met when we meet the needs of individual persons.

Change without continuity is chaos. Continuity without change is sloth-and very risky.

A friend of mine characterizes leaders simply like this: Leaders don't inflict pain. They bear pain.

The simple act of recognizing diversity in corporate life helps us to connect the great variety of gifts that people bring to the work and service of the corporation.
