Managers help people see themselves as they are; Leaders help people to see themselves better than they are.
The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.
Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are with the gift of your attention.
If you share a good idea long enough, it will eventually fall on good people.
Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.
The goal of an effective leader is to recondition your team to be solution focused rather than problem focused.
Leadership is the challenge to be something more than average.
As a leader you should always start with where people are before you try to take them to where you want them to go.
A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.
Leaders, whether in the family, in business, in government, or in education, must not allow themselves to mistake intentions for accomplishments .
Leaders must learn to discipline their disappointments. It's not what happens to us, it is what we choose to do about what happens that makes the difference in how our lives turn out.
Leaders must understand that some people will inevitably sell out to the evil side. Don't waste your time wondering why; spend your time discovering who.
We could all use a little coaching. When you're playing the game, it's hard to think of everything.
