To become the leader that others choose to follow, we need to practice being a great follower first.

Sustaining freedom requires our commitment to act responsibly and in the best interests of our team and our community.

Living from an attitude of thanksgiving allows us to be grateful for the kind and helpful acts people show us and is fundamental in leadership development.

Character based leadership prospers in any environment. It thrives when trouble comes. Trouble helps us discover the heart of those leading.

Character is the distinguishing attribute of an exemplary leader because within those who live with integrity are the seeds of trust which contain the foundation of leadership.

Leadership doesn’t happen in a day, it happens daily so it isn’t a check box on a development plan. It must be earned in the eyes of others at every level through building trust over time.

Adding lasting value to our organization means helping others do what they do best every day.

Helping a lost team member return where they belong is the responsibility of the entire team, but especially the leader.

Many claim to have a calling to serve. I've met them and I believe them. My perspective on serving is a bit different. I believe that everyone has a gift and called to give it. We need more people willing to give their gift.

Leaders plant a variety of crops that mature in various conditions and duration. Leaders that fail to do this don't have organizations very long.

Learn how to LEAD. Through loving, encouraging, achieving, and developing others we become the leader others are looking to follow.

Could it be that each tear of compassion we shed, contains seeds that could change someone's tomorrow for the better?
