On leadership

"We expect it to come from the outside. And so we wait and listen for the sound of some mighty voice. But real leadership comes from the quiet nudging of an inner voice. It comes from realizing that the time has come to move beyond waiting to doing." --Madeleine Albright's commencement address, UNC-Chapel Hill, 5/13/07.

Heard this morning on "Morning Edition" while riding the bus to work.
