Leadership is about love and caring

• Great leaders radiate empathy
• Which leads to a sense of responsibility 
• Ennobling ideals and enduring values mean more than what many businesses stand for
• We should benchmark leaders based on how many lives they’ve changed, not dollars they’ve made
• Let’s stand for something bigger than success
• We need role models who stand the test of time
• A leader’s job is to make something happen that wasn’t supposed to happen

Writing books

• Painful process
• Takes much longer than you ever thought it would
• Life is more than “making the doughnuts”
• Every day is an act of creation
• It’s something that can have an impact
• “Masterful Coaching” was written in 1995

Guiding principles for a leader

• Find your hero
• Take a stand for something greater than yourself
• Lead with the power of your words
• The power of teams is greater than individuals
• Results now
• Coach rather than cop
• Growth through adversity

Growth through adversity

• Leaders grow through crucible experiences
• Great adversity can lead to transformation
• Harry Truman called his troops back after they ran away
• Character is destiny - Truman studied leaders and battles

Masterful Coaching

• Become the leader your business needs by realizing the impossible future
• Be daring to create a legendary company
• Did you make a difference?
• Great leaders have integrity, empathy, responsibility, drive, humility and self-reflectiveness
