That’s what leadership is….

….. all about, identifying quality people, giving them the opportunity and experience to create and develop to continue to make the company successful. The best leaders identify and mentor potential leaders. A leader’s most important legacy is the leaders he or she develops.

– Kenneth Strong & John Dicicc0

Leadership is not just…..

……. the province of people at the top. Leadership can occur at all levels and by any individual. In fact, we see that it is important for leaders to develop leadership in those below them.

– Bernard Mass & Ronald Riggio

“Leadership should be…..

……. born out of the understanding of the needs of those who would be affected by it.”

– Marian Anderson

“Leadership …..

….. and learning are indispensable to each other.”

– John F Kennedy

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

“I have three precious things…..

…. which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.”

– Lao Tzu

“A leader must lead……

….. Where others see obstacles, he must see opportunities. When others see problems, he must see possibilities … Civilization is not built on a negation but on an affirmation- an affirmation of the bright and promising possibilities that the future holds for those who are enterprising enough to pursue them.”

– David J Vaughan

“Anybody will do for you……

 

………but not for me. I must have somebody.”

– Abraham Lincoln

“A leader isn’t someone …..

…….who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his strength to others so that they may have the strength to stand on their own.”

– Beth Revis

“If you’re not confused…..

….. you’re not paying attention.”

– Tom Peters
