Leadership is influence.

We cannot lead anyone farther than we have been ourselves.

If you want to be positive, upbeat, and passionate, you need to take responsibility for being that way.

You can't become a leader in one conference.

The better you are at surrounding yourself with people of high potential, the greater your chance for success.

Knowing how to do a job is the accomplishment of labor - showing others is the accomplishment of the teacher - making sure the work is done by others is the accomplishment of the manager - inspiring others to do better work is the accomplishment of the leader.

Leaders have two characteristics: first they are going somewhere, and second they are able to persuade other people to go with them.

You must do right before you feel good.

Coming together is a beginning, and staying together is progress, but only when teams sweat together do they find success.
