“Remember teamwork begins…..

…… by building trust. And the only way to do that is to overcome our need for invulnerability.”

“Truly powerful people……

…….. have great humility. They do not try to impress, they do not try to be influential. They simply are. People are magnetically drawn to them. They are most often very silent and focused, aware of their core selves. … They never persuade, nor do they use manipulation or aggressiveness to get their way. They listen. If there is anything they can offer to assist you, they offer it; if not, they are silent.”

– Sanaya Roman

“A man can only lead when …..

……… others accept him as their leader, and he has only as much authority as his subjects give to him. All of the brilliant ideas in the world cannot save your kingdom if no one will listen to them.”

– Brandon Sanderson

“A leader. . .

…..is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.”

– Nelson Mandela

“It is a curious thing…..

“…… Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.”

– J K Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
