The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.

Vision animates, inspires, transforms purpose into action.

Manage the dream: Create a compelling vision, one that takes people to a new place, and then translate that vision into a reality.

Charisma is the result of effective leadership, not the other way around.

Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple, and it is also that difficult.

In life, change is inevitable. In business, change is vital.

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.
