Listening to the inner voice – trusting the inner voice – is one of the most important lessons of leadership.

The first step toward change is to refuse to be deployed by others and to choose to deploy yourself. Thus the process begins.

…most of us… are creatures of our context, prisoners of the habits, practices, and rules that make us ineffectual.

The leader has a clear idea of what he or she wants to do – professional and personally – and the strength to persist in the face of setbacks, even failures.

Unless you know where you’re going, and why, you cannot possibly get there.

Without hope, we cannot survive, much less progress.

The leader who communicates passion gives hope and inspiration to other people.

…until you truly know yourself, strengths and weaknesses, know what you want to do and why you want to do it, you cannot succeed in any but the most superficial sense of the word.

Leaders never lie to themselves, especially about themselves, know their faults as well as their assets, and deal with them directly.

You are your own raw material. When you know what you consist of and what you want to make of it, then you can invent yourself.
