The leader...is rarely the brightest person in the group. Rather they have extraordinary taste, which makes them more curators than creators. They are appreciators of talent and nurturers of talent and they have the ability to recognize valuable ideas.

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.

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

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

The opposite of hope is despair, and when we despair, it is because we feel there are no choices.

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

All claims deserve consideration but some claims are more important than others.
