Being a leader doesn’t give you the freedom to do what you want, it gives you the power to do what you ought.

Lead with integrity.
Make sacrifices when you’re called.
Stand up for the weaker individual.
Stop feeling so entitled.
Give voice to the issues that matter.
Be generous with the gifts you have.
Resist temptation.
Admit when you’re wrong.
Forgive the person who’s wronged you.
Forgive yourself.

Lead with courage.
Lead with humility.
Be authentic.

Live boldly. Love deeply. Forgive freely.

Be a leader worth following in 2014.
