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.

Bad leaders care about who is right. Good leaders care about what is right

When we have a clear sense of our destination, we can be flexible in the route we take to reach it.

Leaders, whatever the size of their organizations, are those willing to put the interests of other people before their own.

Instead of showing up to let everyone know how great we are, show up to find out how great everyone else is.

The most effective leaders are actually better at guarding against danger when they acknowledge it that it exists. Cowards, in contrast, cling to the hope that failure will never happen and may be sloppy in the face of danger - not because they don't acknowledge that it exists, but because they are just too afraid of it to look it in the eye.

The courage of leadership is giving others the chance to succeed even though you bear the responsibility for getting things done.
