Leadership is about doing the right thing, even if it going against a vast number of naysayers and mediocre people.

A leaderless but powerful network is working to bring about radical changes in the United States. Its members have broken with certain key elements of Western thought, and they may even have broken continuity with history... this benign conspiracy for new human agenda has triggered the most rapid cultural realignment in history.

Leadership has a price.

Leadership appears to be the art of getting others to want to do something you are convinced should be done.

Leadership is getting someone to do what they don't want to do, to achieve what they want to achieve.

We have to start processing what we're really made of in America. American character is not dead. American integrity and honesty are not dead. When we're backed up against the wall against the largest corporations in the history of corporations, it's there.

Our job as leaders is to find those innovators and release their mojo - lean startup-style - to serve the American people better.

American culture is CEO obsessed. We celebrate the hard-charging heroes and mythologize the iconoclastic visionaries. Those people are important.

Someone needs to remind American CEOs that if you can't run a company that is innovative, financially sound and doesn't poison the rest of us, You can't run a company.
