The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.

I absolutely believe in the power of tithing and giving back. My own experience about all the blessings I've had in my life is that the more I give away, the more that comes back. That is the way life works, and that is the way energy works.

The productivity of a work group seems to depend on how the group members see their own goals in relation to the goals of the organization.
