If the most powerful thing leaders do is connect, the most dangerous is isolation.

Leaders build connections; they build trust through repeated actions.  True leaders earn respect; it doesn’t come with a title or position.  When leaders are clear, when they provide support, results are achieved.  

There is a huge difference between leadership and authority.  We serve with leaders; we fear authoritarian power.  Don’t try to lead in isolation; leadership demands teamwork.  Don’t try to lead through power; work to bring people together for a common purpose.
