Our courage comes from the courage of others.

Great leaders and great organizations are good at seeing what most of us can’t see. They are good at giving us things we would never think of asking for.

Authorities act with themselves in mind. Leaders act with others in mind. Authorities take. Leaders give. Authorities die. Leaders live on.

A team is not a group of people that work together. A team is a group of people that trust each other.

Knowledge is understanding based on what has been studied and learned. Wisdom is understanding based on what has been felt and experienced.

The responsibility of leadership is not to come up with all the ideas but to create an environment in which great ideas can thrive.

Leading is not the same as being the leader. Being the leader means you hold the highest rank, either by earning it, good fortune or navigating internal politics. Leading, however, means that others willingly follow you—not because they have to, not because they are paid to, but because they want to.
