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

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

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

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

The best way a mentor can prepare another leader is to expose him or her to other great people.

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
