"John Maxwell ...has said that leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less, and nothing else. While I agree with that wholeheartedly, I need something a little more substantial"
 
"...watch what I say and watch what I do. That is what real leadership is all about."

"...quit moaning and groaning every time something goes wrong. The world does not revolve around you...or me."

"Instead, lead in the right direction with your words and actions. In other words, it is the words that come out of your mouth and the behaviors from your life that show what leadership is all about. Many times each day, a thought will go through my mind that is negative and non-productive, but I have trained myself to simply not feed it. I do not have to water it; I do not have to fertilize it; and I do not have to let it grow. What I do say is something that is positive both to myself and to others. I use words and actions and attitudes to let people know that I am looking for the good, the pure, and the positive in everything that takes place."
