Heart is difficult to describe, but you know it when you see it.  Heart is the feelings that guide you along the way.  It’s a unique blend of caring and passion.  Heart is the will to do something and stirs the soul so you will try.  Leaders with heart give so much more than they take.  Heart has no gender, age or color.  It has no limit and makes no excuses.  Heart can overcome all adversity and guide you to success.  Success ultimately makes the rules we must follow.  Heart driven success, though rare, is the ultimate.  If you aim for the heart first, you’ll always capture everything else that matters.  When you capture someone’s heart, the rest always follows.  Our words are the voice of our hearts.  If a leader touches the heart of a teammate it lives forever through them. 
 
You know a great team when you see one.  Whether it be in sports or business they are easy to recognize.  What you are really seeing is a leader at work.  Somebody understood the universal principals we will be talking about in this book.  Great teams are never built by accident.  The greatest of teams are in the dream business.  Once people focus on where they are headed what appears impossible becomes probable.  A leaders’ top responsibility is to help their teams’ dreams become bigger than their fears. This is not reality TV.  If you ever let your team stare at where they are, that’s the beginning of the end.  Followers tell you what you want to hear.  A leader tells you what you need to hear.
 
Vision and leadership are indispensable to one another. Yet, at the same time, what does it truly mean for vision to have leadership? Through the insights and inspiration of this book, I hope to offer business leaders the opportunity to sort through these types of questions and seek the visionary leadership strategies which will positively impact the heart of all who seek to change the world.  As you build your team you will learn to attract them to you, not your company, concept, crusade or cause alone.  Throughout this book I’ll be sharing a few stories of the most precious asset I’ve ever known, the people of our great team.  They are the one thing I could never replace.
 
“Beware what you set your heart upon.  For it surely shall be yours.”

I believe that everyone is the keeper of a dream - and by tuning into another’s secret hopes, we can become better friends and better business partners.  I have not cornered the market on leadership or vision - however, as a leader; I continually seek to increase my knowledge of visionary leadership, which I acquire every day.  I believe that a true leader is a man or woman who strives to allow the invisible to become visible to his/her team.  Yet at the same time, vision is not the sole marking of a great leader - a leader is one whose sole commitment is to invest in the lives of those who follow them.  Great success in business will make you more of what you already are today as a person.  These are the principles and steps we’ve used to build and lead a great team in our business and they will work in yours, too.
