Authenticity is more than speaking; Authenticity is also about doing. Every decision we make says something about who we are.

We very often confuse personality with leadership.

We have no choice, we must all die. How we live, however, is entirely of our choosing.

A boss who micromanages is like a coach who wants to get in the game. Leaders guide and support and then sit back to cheer from the sidelines.

We are drawn to leaders and organizations that are good at communicating what they believe. Their ability to make us feel like we belong, to make us feel special, safe and not alone is part of what gives them the ability to inspire us.

When you compete against everyone else, no one wants to help you. But when you compete against yourself, everyone wants to help you.

I like stories of the classic hero, of good versus evil, the ones in which the good guys wear white and the bad guys wear black... and I love a good sword fight.
