The key ingredient to building trust is not time. It is courage.

When there is trust, conflict becomes nothing but the pursuit of truth, an attempt to find the best possible answer.

Trust is the confidence among team members that their peers' intentions are good, and that there is no reason to be protective or careful around the group. In essence, teammates are not comfortable being vulnerable with one another.

It is dangerous if our identity as a leader becomes more important than our identity as a child of God.

All things to all people is nothing to everyone.

Organizational health is the single greatest competitive advantage in any business.

Teamwork remains a sustainable competitive advantage that has been largely untapped because it is hard to measure (teamwork impacts the outcome of an organization in such comprehensive and invasive ways that it's virtually impossible to isolate it as a single variable) and because it is extremely hard to achieve (it requires levels of courage and discipline that few executives possess) - ironically, building a strong team is very simple (it doesn't require masterful insights or tactics).
