Leadership is neither a rank nor a title. It is a choice. The choice to provide care and protection for those for whom we are responsible.

We are all so preoccupied with ourselves. How can I get happy, how can I find the job I love, how can I become a millionaire, how can lose weight. Yet, the reality is that fulfillment, success and all of these good things comes from trying to help those that we care about to achieve those things.

The irony is, the advertising industry knows everyone hates what they produce. This is why they keep looking for new ways to force people to stay tuned.

When people are financially invested, they want a return. When people are emotionally invested, they want to contribute.

We can rationalize anything and easily quit on ourselves. Leadership is refusing to quit on others.

I find, when you're an optimist, life has a funny way of looking after you.

We think leadership is about rank and power, but better to think of leadership as the responsibility for other human beings. That leadership and rank may not go together. So it manifests in this remarkable way.
