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

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

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

Teamwork makes the dream work, but a vision becomes a nightmare when the leader has a big dream and a bad team.

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

Most people don't like change. They revolt against it unless they can clearly see the advantage it brings. For that reason, when good leaders prepare to take action or make changes, they take people through a process to get them ready for it.
