“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’. They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don’t sidestep it, but ‘we’ gets the credit…. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.”

– Peter F. Drucker

A desperate disease……

…. requires a dangerous remedy.

– Guy Fawkes

I am personally convinced that….

…….one person can be a change catalyst, a transformer in any situation, any organization. Such an individual is yeast that can leaven an entire loaf. It requires vision, initiative, patience, respect, persistence, courage, and faith to be a transforming leader.”

– Stephen R Covey

Nothing so conclusively proves……

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

– Thomas J Watson Sr.

“The challenge of leadership is …..

……. to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humour, but without folly.”

– Jim Rohn

“The final test of a leader is…..

……….that he leaves behind him in other men, the conviction and the will to carry on.”

– Walter Lippmann

I think what actually works best…..

……… is local-level individual targeting of key leadership nodes.

– John Abizaid

Let him who would be moved….

……… to convince others, be first moved to convince himself.

– Thomas Carlyle

“The leader is one who…..

……. mobilizes others toward a goal shared by leaders and followers. … Leaders, followers and goals make up the three equally necessary supports for leadership.”

– Gary Wills
