“What the Round Table did for the knights was to give them opportunities to learn, grow, and demonstrate their leadership. . .

Belonging to the Round Table had to help each knight lead better, know more, and achieve more than he would have without it. . .The Round Table was a leaderfull team aimed at channeling the energy of the Knights to create Camelot together…”

Arthur said, “We sit at the round Table to exchange ideas, not swords.

We are here not as enemies. Instead we are here as great knights. We can create a legend for all time, but only if we become trusted colleagues. This table is round for a reason. It is symbolic of the ring that binds us. Equally as important, it is symbolic of the circle of communication. For all of us, if we want respect, first we must give respect. If we want trust, first we must give trust. If we want to be heard, first we must listen. If we want to speak, first we must let others speak.”

At the Round Table, no knight has a greater voice than any other knight.

You have my pledge as King that while we sit at the Round Table, your ideas will always be heard and valued. I expect the same from each one of you.”
