Everyone in a successful organization must be willing and ready to risk. Risk is like change; it's not a choice.

The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality.

We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion.

A whale is as unique as a cactus. But don't ask a whale to survive Death Valley. We all have special gifts. Where we use them and how determines whether we actually complete something.

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.

We can go through anything because Jesus goes before us.

Leadership is liberating people to do what is required of them in the most effective and humane way possible.
