You cannot force commitment, what you can do…You nudge a little here, inspire a little there, and provide a role model. Your primary influence is the environment you create.

The care leadership strategy is simple: be a model. Commit yourself to your own personal mastery.

There is nothing more powerful you can do to encourage others in their quest for personal mastery than to be serious in your own quest.

It takes courage and skill to be unambiguous and clear.
