All great leaders constantly seek new information and new ways of thinking.

A leader is someone whose actions have the most profound consequences on other people's lives, for better or worse, sometime forever and ever.

While great leaders may be as rare as great runners, great actors, or great painters, everyone has leadership potential, just as everyone has some ability at running, acting, and painting.

There is a profound difference between information and meaning.

Manage the dream: Create a compelling vision, one that takes people to a new place, and then translate that vision into a reality.

The basis of leadership is the capacity of the leader to change the mindset, the framework of the other person.

Judgment without character is expediency... or worse.
