Leaders lead when they take positions, when they connect with their tribes, and when they help the tribe connect to itself.

The best creative solutions don't come from finding good answers to the questions that are presented... They come from inventing new questions!

The public square is more public than ever, but minds are rarely changed in 140 character bursts and by selfies.

How do I dance with the fear? Fear is not the enemy. Paralysis is the enemy.

Initiating is really and truly difficult, and that's what leaders do. They see something others are ignoring and they jump on it.

So much easier to aim for the smallest possible audience, not the largest, to build long-term value among a trusted, delighted tribe, to create work that matters and stands the test of time.

If you're not willing to face the abyss of choice, you will almost certainly not spend enough time dancing with opportunity.
