The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say "I." And that's not because they have trained themselves not to say "I." They don't think "I." They think "we"; they think "team." They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the credit. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.

Ralph Waldo Emerson:

Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.

Ralph Waldo Emerson:

Our distrust is very expensive.

Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts. And never hope more than you work.

Love all, trust a few.
