‘Leaders envision the future by imagining exciting and ennobling possibilities.’

‘People want to follow those who can see beyond today’s difficulties and imagine a brighter tomorrow.’

‘Leaders are pioneers willing to step out into the unknown.’

‘Leadership is a relationship between those who aspire to lead and those who choose to follow.’

‘Leadership is something you experience in an interaction with another human being.’

Leaders are their organization’s ambassadors of shared values.’-

‘Leading others begins with leading yourself and you can’t do that until you’re able to answer that fundamental question about who you are.’

‘Leadership is not merely about your values. It’s also about the values of your constituents.’

‘Conversations about values … enable people to find more meaning in their work.’

Being an exemplary leader requires you to live the values.’

‘As a leader, you teach, coach, and guide others to align their actions with the shared values because you’re held accountable for their actions, too, not just your own.’
