There is a profound difference between information and meaning.

People who cannot invent and reinvent themselves must be content with borrowed postures, secondhand ideas, fitting in instead of standing out.

Successful leadership is not about being tough or soft, sensitive or assertive, but about a set of attributes. First and foremost is character

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

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.

Without character, there is no credibility; and without credibility, there is no trust.

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.
