All good leaders are connectors. They relate well and make people feel confident about themselves and their leader.

Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.

Good leaders must communicate vision clearly, creatively, and continually. However, the vision doesn't come alive until the leader models it.

Leaders who are kind of insecure or egocentric, they basically sabotage themselves.

Dividers seek to make themselves look or feel better by making others feel worse. They damage relationships, fracture teams and organizations, and create havoc in people's lives.

People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.
