The leaders who…
.. work most effectively, it seems to me, never say ‘I’. And that’s not because they have trained themselves not to say ‘I’. They don’t think ‘I’. They think ‘we’; they think ‘team’.

This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.
– Peter F. Drucker
Everything…
… that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

… believe my greatest service is in the many unwise steps I prevent.

… is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide
– Napoleon Bonaparte
