Followers are…

… more important to leaders than leaders are to followers

–  Barbara Kellerman

It is better to…

… lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership

– Nelson Mandela

A true dreamer…

is one who knows how to navigate in the dark

– John Paul Warren

You can have…

anything you want if you are willing to give up the belief that you can’t have it

–Robert Anthony

What makes a…

good follower? The single most important characteristic may well be a willingness to tell the truth. In a world of growing complexity leaders are increasingly dependent on their subordinates for good information, whether the leaders want to hear it or not. Followers who tell the truth and leaders who listen to it are an unbeatable combination

~ Warren G. Bennis

Great teams do not…

hold back with one another. They are unafraid to air their dirty laundry. They admit their mistakes, their weaknesses, and their concerns without fear of reprisal

– Patrick Lencioni

There has…

… never been a meaningful life built on easy street

– John Paul Warren

Victory…

has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan

– John F Kennedy

 

Only the guy…

… who isn’t rowing has time to rock the boat

– Jean-Paul Sartre

Whatever you…

do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it

– Mahatma Gandhi
