The results (of the assessment) indicated the need for strategic initiatives. As leaders we must work together to address the needs of our entire community.

We want to help Odessa succeed. Our intent is to educate people, not so they can speak for us, but so they can speak for themselves.

Good work has intrinsic worth.

At this historic moment, the secretary-general calls on Iraq's political leaders to work with resolve towards the early formation of a fully inclusive Government which will strive to build a peaceful, prosperous, democratic and united Iraq.

The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say "I." And that's not because they have trained themselves not to say "I." They don't think "I." They think "we"; they think "team." They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the credit…. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.

Don't be too impressed, I do this for a living.
