Followers have a very clear picture of what they want and need from the most influential leaders in their lives: trust, compassion, stability, and hope.

If you want people to understand that you value their contributions and that they are important, the recognition and praise you provide must have meaning that is specific to each individual.

If you spend your life trying to be good at everything, you will never be great at anything.

The things that change people's lives are usually an accumulation of small acts.
