From my scouting days, I follow the motto 'Be prepared'. What drives me is the urge to strive for the best and empower my team to do the same. This goal can be achieved by giving them confidence and the duty to contribute with ideas and solutions.
"Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb" (Winston Churchill).
