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.

Leaders don't convince people to follow them. Leaders walk forward alone and those who want to go down their path decide to follow.

Dr. King gave the "I have a dream" speech, not the "I have a plan" speech.

There are two kinds of experts: academic experts and practical experts. One is not better than the other, but they are very different, and each offers very different value.

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

Follow those who follow something bigger than themselves - an idea, a belief, a vision, a cause. Run away from those who say we need to follow them.

Leadership isn't answering the questions others ask. Leadership is asking others to answer their own questions.
