To be authentic is literally to be your own author... to discover your own native energies and desires, and then to find your own way of acting on them.

Coaching will become the model for leaders in the future... I am certain that leadership can be learned and that terrific coaches... facilitate learning.

Leaders learn by leading, and they learn bestby leading in the face of obstacles. As weather shapes mountains, problems shape leaders.

Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery.

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

Effective leaders make a full commitment to be a learner, to keep increasing and nourishing their knowledge and wisdom.

Charisma is the result of effective leadership, not the other way around.
