Good leadership is always human. It takes time and energy. It is hard work. Which is why good leadership is so special when we find it.
If we don’t give things a try, nothing will get off the ground.
Focus on money and we will make money. Focus on impact and we will make an impact.
What we do for others has a direct impact on how we feel about ourselves.
Achievement happens when we pursue and attain what we want. Success comes when we are in clear pursuit of Why we want it.
The big picture doesn’t just come from distance; it also comes from time.
Followers want to be taken care of. Leaders want to take care of others. We can all be leaders.
Every one of us has the capacity to lead.
When a leader makes the choice to put the safety and lives of the people inside the organization first, to sacrifice their comforts and sacrifice the tangible results, so that the people remain and feel safe and feel like they belong, remarkable things happen.
Leaders may inspire, but only when the people decide to act does the leader’s vision become a movement.
A poor leader will tell you how many people work for them. A great leader will tell you how many people they work for.
Average companies give their people something to work on. The most innovative organizations give their people something to work toward.
Don’t give to get. Give to inspire others to give.
The creatives are rarely professional and the professionals are rarely creative.
When we accept the fact that we can’t do everything, we are more willing to ask for and accept help when we do anything.
Employees represent an opportunity to inspire not a burden to carry.
Complaining begets more complaints. Anger begets more anger. And optimism begets more optimism.
If you talk about what you believe, you will attract those who believe what you believe.
Changing the world takes more than everything any one person knows, but not more than we know together.
Hire people inspired to achieve something big over people who demand something big before they feel inspired.
