Followers want to be taken care of. Leaders want to take care of others. We can all be leaders.

The leader's job is to lead and protect. Not have all the answers, not know everything to do, not to micromanage and tell people what to do or how to do it. A leader's job is to lead and protect. That's their job, and it's the people within the organization - their job is to get the work done.

I need an army. I need people out there who are either preaching with me to different audiences that I can't get to or who are implementing the work and helping people actually learn their why or practice their why or implement their why because I don't do that.

People don't buy what you do they buy why you do it and what you do simply proves what you believe.

The passion to change the world for the better is a more powerful force than defense to keep it the same.
Simon Sinek

One of the best paradoxes of leadership is a leader's need to be both stubborn and open-minded. A leader must insist on sticking to the vision and stay on course to the destination. But he must be open-minded during the process.

Selfish is easy. It's sharing that takes courage.

Usually what happens is somebody grabs me and they always pull me off to the side. Nobody ever does it publically. They say, I didn't want to be here. Or, I don't usually like people like you. Or, I didn't believe the things you actually talked about would work. I'm here to tell you that you converted me. That happens a lot.

Would anybody be offended if we gave a $150 million bonus to Gandhi? How about a $250 million bonus to Mother Teresa? Do we have an issue with that? None at all. None at all. Great leaders would never sacrifice the people to save the numbers. They would sooner sacrifice the numbers to save the people.
