Whatever…

Whatever got you here may well prevent you from getting there

– Marshall Goldsmith

Leadership…

Leadership cannot just go along to get along. Leadership must meet the moral challenge of the day

– Jesse Jackson

I have…

I have accepted fear as part of life; specifically the fear of change… I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back

– Erica Jong

There comes…

There comes a point where one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but we must do it because our conscience tells us it is right

– MLK

Do not…

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

– John Wooden

After…

After you’ve done a thing the same way for two years, look it over carefully. After five years, look at it with suspicion. And after ten years, throw it away and start all over.

– Alfred Perlman

You cannot…

You cannot build an adaptable organisation without adaptable people; and individuals change only when they have to, or when they want to.

– Gary Hamel

Every day…

Every day the clock resets. Your wins don’t matter. Your failures don’t matter. Don’t stress on what was, fight for what could be.

– Sean Higgins

A true leader…

A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.

–  Douglas MacArthur

Everybody…

Everybody has accepted by now that change is unavoidable. But that still implies that change is like death and taxes; it should be postponed as long as possible and no change would be vastly preferable. But in a period of upheaval, such as the one we are living in, change is the norm.

– Peter Drucker
