True #leadership isn't the bastion of a few who sit at the top ... We all need to step up, take the risk and put our interests second-not always-but when it counts.

We crave explanations for most everything, but innovation and progress happen when we allow ourselves to embrace uncertainty.

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.

Though there are lessons that can be learned about becoming a great leader, most exist inherently in the bellies of those who lead.

So much of starting a business or affecting change is the confidence and courage to simply try.

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.

Courage isn't inside; it's external. It comes from someone else telling you they believe in you.
