Cultural differences should not separate us from each other, but rather cultural diversity brings a collective strength that can benefit all of humanity
– Robert Alan.
The role…
The role of leaders is not to exercise power but to share power amongst those being led
– Anon
The dogmas…
The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country.
– Abraham Lincoln
Reorganisation…
Reorganisation to me is moving boxes around. Transformation means fundamentally changing the way the organisation thinks, the way it responds, the way it leads.
– Lou Gerstner
Whosoever…
Whosoever desires constant success must change his conduct with the times.
– Machiavelli
When…
When we see the need for deep change, we usually see it as something that needs to take place in someone else. In our roles of authority, we are particularly quick to direct others to change. Such directives often fail, and we respond to the resistance by increasing our efforts. The power struggle that follows seldom results in change nor brings about excellence. One of the most important insights about the need to bring about deep change in others has to do with where deep change actually starts.
– Robert E. Quinn
The role…
The role of a creative leader is not to have all the ideas; it’s to create a culture where everyone can have ideas and feel that they’re valued.
– Ken Robinson
Far…
Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.
– Teddy Roosevelt
Because…
Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer.
– Shunryu Suzuki
Culture…
Culture of the mind must be subservient to the heart.
– Mahatma Gandhi
