……. the label of leadership sometimes is and how heroic followership can be.”

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

“Nothing so conclusively proves…..

……. a man’s ability to lead others as what he does from day to day to lead himself.”

I am endlessly fascinated…..

……. that playing football is considered a training ground for leadership, but raising children isn’t.

– Douglas MacArthur

Never doubt that…..

…….a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.
