“You do not lead by hitting people over the head -- that's assault, not leadership.”

“How many times do you have to get hit over the head until you figure out who’s hitting you.”

“Leadership is not a solo sport; if you lead alone, you are not leading.”

“You were born to lead as mothers and fathers because nowhere is righteous leadership more crucial than in the family. You were born to lead as priesthood and auxiliary leaders, as heads of communities, companies, and even nations. You were born to lead as men and women willing 'to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places' because that's what a true leader does.”

“One thing that's clear in the Scriptures is that the nations do not lead people to peace; rather, people lead the nations to peace.”

“Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.”
