“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

“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

I think what actually works best…..

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

– John Abizaid

“The best is he who calls men……

…… to the best. And those who heed the call are also blessed. But worthless who call not, heed not, but rest.”

— Hesiod
8th Century BC Greek poet

“If your actions inspire…..

……..others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”

— John Quincy Adams

To do great things …..

…… is difficult; but to command great things is more difficult.
– Friedrich Nietzsche

Rely on your own strength…..

… of body and soul. Take for your star self-reliance, faith, honesty and industry. Don’t take too much advice — keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy and invincible determination with the right motive are the levers that move the world.
Noah Porter
