Rely on your own strength of body and soul.

 Take for your star self-reliance, faith, honesty and industry. Don’t take too much advice — keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy, invincible determination with the right motive, are the levers that move the world.
Noah Porter

Imagination……

…is more important than knowledge – Albert Einstein

 

 

 

Leadership is not magnetic personality………

……. that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not “making friends and influencing people”, that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to higher sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.”

— Peter F. Drucker

“To lead people, walk beside them …

As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence. The next best, the people honour and praise. The next, the people fear; and the next, the people hate … When the best leader’s work is done the people say, ‘We did it ourselves!'”

— Lao-tsu

 

If we treat people as they are…..

….we make them worse. If we treat them as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming. (Goethe)

Is Leadership a Role….

….or an attitude?

My call is attitude but then again you just might disagree!

Comfort Zones….

….have you ever wondered why yours is so uncomfortable?
