The role of a creative leader is not to have all the ideas; it's to create a culture where everyone can have ideas and feel that they're valued.
No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.
I would say that nobody is going to work harder for your career than yourself — the one with the vision. No matter how many people you hire, nobody is going to get is as much as yourself does.

No matter how good you think you are as a leader, my goodness, the people around you will have all kinds of ideas for how you can get better. So for me, the most fundamental thing about leadership is to have the humility to continue to get feedback and to try to get better — because your job is to try to help everybody else get better.
A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.
A leader's job is not to do the work for others, it's to help others figure out how to do it themselves, to get things done, and to succeed beyond what they thought possible.
The true measure of the value of any business leader and manager is performance.
A leader is a dealer in hope.
I pray to be a good servant to God, a father, a husband, a son, a friend, a brother, an uncle, a good neighbor, a good leader to those who look up to me, a good follower to those who are serving God and doing the right thing.
