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

The leader...is rarely the brightest person in the group. Rather they have extraordinary taste, which makes them more curators than creators. They are appreciators of talent and nurturers of talent and they have the ability to recognize valuable ideas.

The ability to plan for what has not yet happened, for a future that has only been imagined, is one of the hallmarks of leadership.

Think of successful creative collaborations are dreams with deadlines.

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

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

Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple, and it is also that difficult.
