“If you want to build a ship…..
……, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”
– Antoine De Saint-Exupery
“People in any organisation….
…… are always attached to the obsolete – the things that should have worked but did not, the things that once were productive and no longer are.”
– Peter F Drucker
“A sense of humour….
…….. is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done.”
– Dwight D Eisenhower

……. great people; delegate authority; get out of the way”
– Ronald Reagan
“Jesus said several times…..
….. “Come, follow me.” His was a program of “do what I do,” rather than “do what I say.” His innate brilliance would have permitted him to put on a dazzling display, but that would have left his followers far behind. He walked and worked with those he was to serve. His was not a long-distance leadership. He was not afraid of close friendships; he was not afraid that proximity to him would disappoint his followers. The leaven of true leadership cannot lift others unless we are with and serve those to be led.”
– Spencer Kimball
“I must admit……
……… that I have learned more from my negative experiences than I have ever learned from my positive ones.”
– John Paul Warren
“The mark of a great man…..
….. is one who knows when to set aside the important things in order to accomplish the vital ones.”
– Brendon Sanderson
“I would like to be known….
…… as a person who is concerned about freedom and equality and justice and prosperity for all people.”
– Rosa Parks
“Imagine a place…..
…… where everyone chooses to bring energy, passion, and a positive attitude every day.”
– Stephen Lundin
