The signs of outstanding leadership appear primarily among the followers. Are the followers reaching their potential? Are they learning? Serving? Do they achieve the required results? Do they change with grace? Manage conflict?

We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion.

The greatest thing is, at any moment, to be willing to give up who we are in order to become all that we can be.

The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant.

Insight essentially means being able to see things other people are not able to see. This is the hallmark of leadership.

I've been involved with great scripts and so-so leadership, and it's clear to me that leadership is the most compelling factor.

We're building an independent political program that can run electoral politics and then turn on a dime to hold our leaders to task, in case they suddenly develop that old case of amnesia! We'll be there to remind them what they promised and who they promised to work for!

I don't look at myself as a leader. I do look at myself as part of a community.
