The best leaders are clear. They continually light the way, and in the process, let each person know that what they do makes a difference. The best test as a leader is: Do those served grow as persons; do they become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become leaders?

Nothing much happens without a dream. For something really great to happen, it takes a really great dream.

A statement of vision is the overarching purpose, the big dream, the visionary concept-something presently out of reach-so stated that it excites the imagination and chlalenges people to work for something they do not yet know how to do.

Behind every great achievement is a dreamer of great dreams.

Good leaders must first become good servants.

Love without laughter can be grim and oppressive. Laughter without love can be derisive and venomous. Together they make for greatness of spirit.

Even the frankest and bravest of subordinates do not talk with their boss the same way they talk with colleagues.
