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.

Some good leaders are rough around the edges and some leaders are difficult. Some have difficult personalities and some are really nice to be around, but those are not the qualifications. The qualifications are their desire to see us achieve more, their desire to push us to be the best we can be. Not for their selfish gain, but because they believe that we have something to offer.

It's always the organizations that are resource constrained that come up with the good ideas to win.

Safe is good for sidewalks and swimming pools, but life requires risk if we are to get anywhere.

Great communicators don't just hear the words. Great communicators hear the meaning behind the words

We must all try to empathize before we criticize. Ask someone what's wrong before telling them they are wrong.

My own career is a case study for what I believe in.
