The leader is the one who climbs the tallest tree, surveys the entire situation, and yells, 'Wrong jungle!' ... Busy, efficient producers and managers often respond ... 'Shut up! We're making progress!'

The world has entered an era of the most profound and challenging change in human history.

As you live your values, your sense of identity, integrity, control, and inner-directedness will infuse you with both exhilaration and peace. You will define yourself from within, rather than by people's opinions or by comparisons to others.

The nature of life is to be a study of contrasts: joy/sadness, full/empty. The Main Thing is to Keep The Main Thing The Main Thing.

The role of the leader is to foster mutual respect and build a complementary team where each strength is made productive and each weakness irrelevant.

Compliance does not foster innovation, trust does. You can't sustain long-term innovation, for example, in a climate of distrust.
