James M. Kouzes

There is no freeway to the future, no paved highway from here to there. There is only wilderness, uncertain terrain. There are no roadmaps, no signposts. So pioneering leaders rely upon a compass and a dream

There's nothing more demoralizing than a leader who can't clearly articulate why we're doing what we're doing.

If we're going to be authentic in our leadership, we will have to be willing to serve, and we have to be willing to suffer.
