Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.

Encourage reflective backtalk: Leaders know the importance of having someone in their lives who will unfailingly and fearlessly tell them the truth.

Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery. Everyone feels that he or she makes a difference to the success of the organization. When that happens people feel centered and that gives their work meaning.

People who know what they want and why they want it, and have the skills to communicate that to others in a way that gains support

That is the key challenge facing management today; change is the only constant.

Every great group is an island... but an island with a bridge to the mainland.

Judgment without character is expediency... or worse.
