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

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

We can teach ourselves to see things the way they ARE. Only with vision can we begin to see things the way they CAN BE.

Leaders should be able to Stand Alone, Take the Heat, Bear the Pain, Tell the Truth, and Do What's Right

The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality.

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.

Trust cannot be bought or commanded, inherited or enforced. To maintain it, leaders must continually earn it.
