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.

I try to find, celebrate and teach leaders how to build platforms that will inspire others.

Leadership is a choice. It is not a rank.

Greatness starts with a clear vision of the future.

It is better to disappoint people with the truth than to appease them with a lie.

Usually what happens is somebody grabs me and they always pull me off to the side. Nobody ever does it publically. They say, "I didn't want to be here." Or, "I don't usually like people like you." Or, "I didn't believe the things you actually talked about would work. I'm here to tell you that you converted me." That happens a lot.

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