It is the capacity to develop and improve their skills that distinguishes leaders from followers.

Great leaders love talent and know where to find it. They surround themselves with talented people who can work effectively together.

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

Trust is difficult to define, but we know when it's present and when it's not.

No leader can create sustainable, significant change without a reservoir of good will. Without that, you always tend to compromise with failure.

Leaders do not avoid, repress, or deny conflict, but rather see it as an opportunity

Excellence is a better teacher than mediocrity. The lessons of the ordinary are everywhere. Truly profound and original insights are to be found only in studying the exemplary.
