Everyone has values; even criminal gangs have values. Values govern people's behavior but principles govern the consequences of those behaviors.

I am personally convinced that one person can be a change catalyst, a 'transformer' in any situation, any organization. Such an individual is yeast that can leaven an entire loaf. It requires vision, initiative, patience, respect, persistence, courage, and faith to be a transforming leader.

The exercise of true leadership is inversely proportional to the exercise of power.
