Leadership is not achieved by an individual. Leadership is bestowed by the group.

The rank of office is not what makes someone a leader. Leadership is the choice to serve others with or without any formal rank.

In this age of omniconnectedness, words like 'network,' 'community' and even 'friends' no longer mean what they used to. Networks don't exist on LinkedIn. A community is not something that happens on a blog or on Twitter. And a friend is more than someone whose online status you check.

If we inspire people, they will give us more than we asked for. If we manipulate them, they will give us exactly what we paid for

No one knows everything. But together, we know a whole lot.

I don't hire any companies or ask any of my friends to write reviews for me on Amazon when I have a book come out so they can drive up my ratings on Amazon. I don't have a publicist.

Remember to connect with people now and then. In fact, pick up the phone, right now, and call a friend for no other reason than to say hi.
