Trust is the lubrication that makes it possible for organizations to work.

Trust resides squarely between faith and doubt.

Ineffective leaders often act on the advice and counsel of the last person they talked to.

If knowing yourself and being yourself were as easy to do as to talk about, there wouldn't be nearly so many people walking around in borrowed postures, spouting secondhand ideas, trying desperately to fit in rather than to stand out.
