You can't live principals you can't understand.

If you don't choose to do it in leadership time up front, you do it in crisis management time down the road.

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

Principles are natural laws that are external to us and that ultimately control the consequences of our actions. Values are internal and subjective and represent that which we feel strongest about in guiding our behavior.

..people are working harder than ever, but because they lack clarity and vision, they aren’t getting very far. They, in essence, are pushing a rope...with all of their might.

Ineffective people live day after day with unused potential. They experience synergy only in small, peripheral ways in their lives. But creative experiences can be produced regularly, consistently, almost daily in people's lives. It requires enormous personal security and openness and a spirit of adventure.

The great apparent dichotomy is that the more we give, the more we get.
