The price…

… of excellence is discipline; the cost of mediocrity is disappointment

– William Arthur Ward

No one…

…has ever become poor by giving

– Anne Frank

No amount…

… of training in leadership skills, courses in management methods, power titles, promotions or associations can substitute for the right attitudes

…. able to lead others, a man must be willing to go forward alone

The content…

…. of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you choose, what you think and what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny … it is the light that guides your way

The true…

… mark of a leader is the willingness to stick with a bold course of action — an unconventional business strategy, a unique product-development roadmap, a controversial marketing campaign — even as the rest of the world wonders why you’re not marching in step with the status quo. In other words, real leaders are happy to zig while others zag. They understand that in an era of hyper-competition and non-stop disruption, the only way to stand out from the crowd is to stand for something special

– Bill Taylor

Without leadership….

… command is a hollow experience, a vacuum often filled with mistrust and arrogance

– Eric Shinseki

A ship…

…. in the harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for
