… can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.

– Steve Jobs

Someone’s…

… sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

– Warren Buffett

Greatness…

… is not a function of circumstance. Greatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of conscious choice, and discipline.

The good will…

… of the governed will be starved if not fed by the good deeds of the governors.

– Benjamin Franklin

If you…

… are not criticised, you may not be doing much

Things may…

… come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.

Leaders are…

… creatures of their environment, but unlike most creatures, they are also movers of it. As movers of and within the organisation, they push it forward, at the same time shaping it as much as it shapes them.

– John Baldoni

 

Without leaps…

… of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.

A new leader…

… has to be able to change an organization that is dreamless, soulless and visionless… someone’s got to make a wake up call

– Warren Bennis

 

People will…

… forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel
