There is….

… no passion to be found playing small –
in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

– Nelson Mandela

Never….

…put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow

– Mark Twain

Leaders should…

…always expect the very best of those around them. They know that people can change and grow.

– Warren G Bennis

 

Your time….

… is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.
Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary.

– Steve Jobs

The problems…

… that exist in this world can not be solved by the level of thinking that created them.

– Albert Einstein

While great….

leaders may be as rare as great runners, great actors, or great painters, everyone has leadership potential, just as everyone has some ability at running, acting, and painting

– Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus

Leaders are…

… people who are able to express themselves fully…they know who they are, what their strengths and weaknesses are, and how to fully deploy their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses. They also know what they want, why they want it, and how to communicate what they want to others, in order to gain compensation and support. Finally, they know how to achieve their goals. The key to full self-expression is understanding one’s self and the world, and the key to understanding is learning – from one’s own life and experience.

– Warren Bennis

We know…

… that leadership is very much related to change. As the pace of change accelerates, there is naturally a greater need for effective leadership

– John Kotter

The exercise of…

….. power is determined by thousands of interactions between the world of the powerful and that of the powerless, all the more so because these worlds are never divided by a sharp line: everyone has a small part of himself in both

– Vaclav Havel

Big thinking….

…. precedes great achievement

– Wilfred Peterson
