Most people think leadership is about being in charge. Most people think leadership is about having all the answers and being the most intelligent person or the most qualified person in the room. The irony is that it is the complete opposite. Leadership is about empowering others to achieve things they did not think possible. Leadership is about pointing in the direction, articulating a vision of the world that does not yet exist. Then asking help from others to insure that vision happens.

Emails get reactions. Phone calls start conversations.

New ideas need audiences like flowers need bees. No matter how bright and colorful, they will die unless others work to spread them

When we are selective about doing business only with those who believe in our WHY, trust emerges.

There are leaders and there are those who lead. Leaders hold a position of power or influence. Those who lead inspire us.

It is like when a player has a slump, we do not trade them, we coach them. It is the same with our employees. The best leaders come to the aid of their people, whose performance is down. Not come down harder on them.

If we were good at everything we would have no need for each other.
