"Leadership is based on trust, and if you don't have trust, you really cannot lead people." –Dennis Hastert, Speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives 1999-2007

"To really understand how to serve, you have to serve with dignity and respect." –Kristina (Smaby) Schoh, Community Relations Manager, Courtesy Corporation

"I sincerely believe there is no one good leader, one person, or way of leading that is the best." –Janet Stansfield Hess, President, Stansfield Vending

"When you share the gifts and the talents that you have, and when you do it with dedication and passion, that is what makes you a leader." –Jerry Kember, Superintendent, La Crosse School District (retired)

"I've seen people who got part way through their career and said, 'Who am I becoming? What am I doing? This is not the kind of leader I want to be.' They have a kind of conversion experience and they say, 'From this day forward, I'm going to lead another way,' and they do." –Bill Hybels, Senior Pastor, Willow Creek Community Church
