People will do as they are told by someone who outranks them, but they will only follow someone they believe in.

And when a leader embraces their responsibility to care for people instead of caring for numbers, then people will follow, solve problems and see to it that that leader’s vision comes to life the right way, a stable way and not the expedient way.

Working hard for something we don't care about is called stress; working hard for somthing we love is called passion.

Truly human leadership protects an organization from the internal rivalries that can shatter a culture. When we have to protect ourselves from each other, the whole organization suffers. But when trust and cooperation thrive internally, we pull together and the organization grows stronger as a result.

No matter how many or how few people you have reporting to you, you must remember that as you climb higher in the ranks, your words will be taken as commands even if you're just thinking out loud.

Directions are instructions given to explain how. Direction is a vision offered to explain why.

When you can wake up in the morning and feel successful whether some end goal is realized or not...THAT is true success.
