Followers who tell the truth, and leaders who listen to it, are an unbeatable combination.

Leaders should always expect the very best of those around them. They know that people can change and grow.

Leaders keep their eyes on the horizon, not just on the bottom line.

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

That's important to remember: it's not just a collection of great individuals but a group of people who enjoy playing in the sandbox, thoroughly enjoying collaborative problem solving.

People in great groups have blinders on. Their work is all they see. They value failures as learning opportunities. They are optimistic, not realistic, as they proceed from one challenge and crisis to the next.

In life, change is inevitable. In business, change is vital.
