If you cannot allow people to do their jobs … nobody with substance and creativity will work for you.

I always…

I always remember the axiom: a leader…is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind

– Nelson Mandela

You can be a leader without confronting your personal shadows. But walking through them creates the light to be a great leader.

– Erik Sean Larson

Leadership is founded on three qualities: trust, compassion and moral courage. It is the framework upon which lie all traits, techniques and skills of successful leadership.

Create…

Create your future from your future, not your past.

A leader isn’t good because they’re right. They’re good because they’re willing to learn and to trust.

You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

– Steve Jobs

To be…

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
