Leadership is like beauty - it's hard to define but you know it when you see it.

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

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

Understand stakeholder symmetry: Find the appropriate balance of competing claims by various groups of stakeholders.

A new leader has to be able to change an organization that is dreamless, soulless and visionless... someone's got to make a wake up call.

Power is the basic energy needed to initiate and sustain action or, to put it another way, the capacity to translate intention into reality and sustain it. Leadership is the wise use of this power: Transformative leadership.

Successful leaders are great askers
