Manage the dream: Create a compelling vision, one that takes people to a new place, and then translate that vision into a reality.

Recognize the skills and traits you don't possess, and hire the people who have them.

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.

The ability to plan for what has not yet happened, for a future that has only been imagined, is one of the hallmarks of leadership.

Judgment without character is expediency... or worse.

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