A good leader is a person who takes a little more than his share of the blame and a little less than his share of the credit. Good executives never put off until tomorrow what they can get someone else to do today. A big man is one who makes us feel bigger when we are with him. People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision. Learn to say no to the good so you can say yes to the best.
Leadership is influence.
The relationship between commitment and doubt is by no means an antagonistic one. Commitment is healthiest when it not without doubt but in spite of doubt. But in the end, suspend judgment until you've been there. Live it to learn it. The Lord's Prayer is 66 words, the Gettysburg Address is 286 words, and there are 1,322 words in the Declaration of Independence.
