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

Make it about them, not about you.

Self confidence is the ability to exercise restraint in the face of disrespect and still show respect in response.

Some in management positions operate as if they are in a tree of monkeys. They make sure that everyone at the top of the tree looking down sees only smiles. But all too often, those at the bottom looking up see only asses.

Leaders don’t complain about what’s not working. Leaders celebrate what is working and work to amplify it.

I don't care about convincing the people who think I'm naive or an idiot. I'm interested in how do I inspire the people who are open-minded that there's a different way of seeing the world.

I put messages out there that start with why and they talk about what I believe. They go on to demonstrate and give examples. If it resonates with others, those with whom it resonates will share it with their friends and say, "This inspired me. You should watch it. You should read this."
