A functioning, robust democracy requires a healthy educated, participatory followership, and an educated, morally grounded leadership.

The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership.

Leadership in today's world requires far more than a large stock of gunboats and a hard fist at the conference table.

Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to, you'd better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony. And they can tell when you're not giving it all you've got.

I have a different vision of leadership. A leadership is someone who brings people together.
