You don’t have to lead by telling other people what to do, you can lead by just letting them do what they’re capable of instead.

But children are the only people who don't have to take responsibility for anyone but themselves. The rest of us have to take responsibility for the things we cause to happen. You're a leader. People follow you. So frankly, if you can't take responsibility for the actions of your followers, that makes you nothing but a monster.

You can force people to obey you, but you can never force them to follow you. If you want them to play for you, they have to love you.

What is a community? It is the sum total of our choices.

One of the first things you learn as a leader, whether you choose the position of have it forced upon you, is that leadership is as much about what you don't say as what you do say.
