Stories are our attempts to share our values & beliefs with the hopes that we may attract those who believe what we believe. This is the basis of forming a trusting relationship. Story telling, therefor, is only worthwhile when it tells what you stand for, not what you do.

The rank of office is not what makes someone a leader. Leadership is the choice to serve others with or without any formal rank.

Bad leaders believe that they have to project control at all times.

A leader, first and foremost, is human. Only when we have the strength to show our vulnerability can we truly lead.

Great leaders see money as fuel, not a destination.

Communication is not about speaking what we think. Communication is about ensuring others hear what we mean.

Quality effective leaders have the confidence to trust others to try, succeed, and sometimes to fail. We very often confuse personality with leadership. In other words, leadership is not about being a nice person or not a nice person.
