….. not leadership; management is not leadership; leadership is leadership is leadership. If you seek to lead, invest at least 50 percent of your time leading yourself–your own purpose, ethics, principles, motivation, conduct. Invest at least 20 percent leading those with authority over you and 15 percent leading your peers. If you don’t understand that you work for your mislabeled ‘subordinates,’ then you know nothing of leadership. You know only tyranny.
– Dee Hock
…….. touch a heart before they ask for a hand.
– John C Maxwell
…… is taken, not given.
– Louise Sterling & Sue Davidoff
….. 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, invincible determination with the right motive, are the levers that move the world.
– Noah Porter
….. are authentic, that is, they have done their strategic homework, they have a vision that matches the people they are working with, and they believe in that vision deeply. They are not faking it.
– Ronald Burke & Gary Cooper
……. not something you do to people, but something you do with people.
– Ken Blanchard
….. almost always great simplifiers who can cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution that everybody can understand.
– Colin Powell
…… a leadership role, you take on extra responsibility for your actions toward others.
– Kelley Armstrong
……. not leaders automatically gravitate toward lines–limitations set by others. Many people are taught this in kindergarten when they are instructed to stay within the lines while colouring. But leaders are more creative than that. They look for options and opportunities. They try to take things in a new direction, or beyond the limit. Progress and innovation are made by people who think without lines.
– John C Maxwell
……find the magic in their players.
– Steve Chandler & Scott Richardson
