As J.K Rowling shows us, great stories provide insights into the narratives of our lives…

• The twin pillars of effective leadership are truth and trust.
• Genuine leadership doesn’t require a title. It is taking the initiative to accomplish whatever needs to be done.
• Courage does not imply a lack of fear, but a determination to do what’s right even in the face of fear.
• The key to motivating others is to ask the right questions, uphold high standards, and show people you care.
• The ability to admit a mistake is a sign of strength, not a signal of weakness.
• As Dumbledore suggests, it is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
