Bureaucracy widens relationship gaps. Authenticity reduces relationship gaps.

We leaders set the bar in every facet of our spheres of influence, including joy.

Authentic leaders do not live in external circumstances; they moor their internal spirit through daily, intentional character building.

Authentic leaders know leadership is not solely about the leader.

Authentic leaders give the gift of relationship.

The greater the influence, the greater the necessity to cultivate patience and humility.

We all matter and authentic leaders take the time to show others how much they matter.

Leadership may truly trust their people, yet if they aren’t engaged and present the end result will be mistrust.

Choice. No one can make it for you, nor can they take it from you.

Authentic thought leaders gain perspective from people who think differently, and actively seek out dissenting voices. 

If we cling to human-made rules and policies, we are guaranteed to be wrong at some point.

Authentic leaders choose to seek out good and speak gratitude to those for whom they don’t always feel thankful.

Successful leaders aren’t driven to exhaustion by their calendar or other’s whims and needs.
