The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality.

We cannot avoid growing old; but we can avoid growing cold.

We talk about the quality of product and service. What about the quality of our relationships and the quality of our communications and the quality of our promises to each other?

Integrity in all things precedes all else. The open demonstration of integrity is essential.

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.

There may be no single thing more important in our efforts to achieve meaningful work and fulfilling relationships than to learn to practice the art of communication.

Jazz, like leadership, combines the unpredictability of the future with the gifts of individuals.
