A poor leader will tell you how many people work for them. A great leader will tell you how many people they work for.

Your work is your own private megaphone to tell the world what you believe.

Generosity is doing something for someone else expecting nothing in return.

In this age of omniconnectedness, words like 'network,' 'community' and even 'friends' no longer mean what they used to. Networks don't exist on LinkedIn. A community is not something that happens on a blog or on Twitter. And a friend is more than someone whose online status you check.

Leadership is a choice. It's not a rank, it's a choice. I know many people who are at the top of their organization who have authority.

Most politicians are not authentic.
