  • As a new leader, you must use the authority you are given wisely, to advance the team and help the people you lead. (Pg. 43)
  • The easiest way to define leadership is by position. However, position and titles are very misleading. A [leadership] position always promises more than it can deliver. (pg. 50)
  • Good leadership is about walking beside people and helping them to climb up the hill with you. (Pg. 56)
  • Leadership is an opportunity to serve. (Pg. 87)
  • Good leaders have an orientation toward results. (Pg. 164)
  • If you invest in people, they will never be the same again.  And neither will you. It is impossible to help others without helping yourself. (Pg.174)
