“Your position never gives you…..
…….. the right to command. It only imposes on you the duty of so living your life that others may receive your orders without being humiliated.”
— Dag Hammarskjöld

“In the course of history…..
….. there comes a time when humanity is called to shift to a new level of consciousness, to reach a higher moral ground. A time when we have to shed our fear and give hope to each other. That time is now.”
— Wangari Maathai
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.

“The best is he who calls men…..

“More than anything else today…..
……. followers believe they are part of a system, a process that lacks heart. If there is one thing a leader can do to connect with followers at a human, or better still a spiritual level, it is to become engaged with them fully, to share experiences and emotions, and to set aside the processes of leadership we have learned by rote.”

“Leadership is not so much about technique……
…… and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration—of oneself and of others. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes. Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine.”
— Lance Secretan, Industry Week, October 12, 1998
Educationists should build…..
…… the capacities of the spirit of inquiry, creativity, entrepreneurial and moral leadership among students and become their role model.
