There are only two ways to influence human behavior: you can manipulate it or you can inspire it.

I have been inspired by Martin Luther King and how he inspired a movement. I have learned that a cause must be organic; if it is to have an impact it must belong to those who join the movement and not those who lead it.

I'm investing in myself, I'm investing in others and I'm investing in my cause. I know if I persist it will pay back in dividends and it always does.

We can not lead an organization, we can run an organization. We can only lead people.

Leadership is a choice. It's not a rank, it's a choice. I know many people who are at the top of their organization who have authority. We have to do what they say because they have authority over us. But they're not leaders. We wouldn't follow them. They may be at the top of the company but they're not leaders.

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

Leadership is not a rank, it's a choice.
