We must devote attention to being innovative. If you are to be a leader, you must possess the right attitude. Risks are not to be taken just for risk sake alone. But some things will never be accomplished without the willingness to take risks. A mentor must teach that a great leader is willing to take risks.
Ordinary people can make an extraordinary impact on their world with commitment.
Often the difference between success and failure is not someone being smarter, faster, or better educated, but it very often boils down to commitment. The leader must have infectious optimism. The final test of a leader is the feeling you have when you leave his presence after a conference.
