We cannot….

We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change

– Sheryl Sandberg

Great teams….

Great teams do not hold back with one another. They are unafraid to air their dirty laundry. They admit their mistakes, their weaknesses, and their concerns without fear of reprisal

– Patrick Lencioni

We shouldn’t….

We shouldn’t be working towards equality just because it’s the right thing, we should do it because it’s the smart thing. From a company point of view, or an organizational point of view, if you can use the full talents of the workforce, you’re going to outperform. So whether you’re a man or a woman, whether you’re the most entry-level employee trying to outperform, or the CEO, if you engage and really build diverse teams, you’re going to outperform. So do it because it’s going to help you.

– Sheryl Sandberg

 

We only become….

We only become what we are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made of us.

– Jean-Paul Sartre

Injustice….

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

– Martin Luther King Jr

Always…..

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing

– Abraham Lincoln

As we…

As we express our gratitude we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

– John F Kennedy

All great leaders….

All great leaders evidence four basic qualities that are central to their ability to lead: adaptive capacity, the ability to engage others through shared meaning, a distinctive voice and unshakeable integrity. These four qualities mark all exemplary leaders, whatever their age, gender, ethnicity or race.

– Warren Bennis

Only those….

Only those who risk going too far can find out how far one can go

– T S Eliot

A promising junior executive….

A promising junior executive of IBM was involved in a risky venture for the company and managed to lose over $10 million in the gamble. It was a disaster. When Watson called the nervous executive into his office, the young man blurted out, ‘I guess you want my resignation?’ Watson said, ‘You can’t be serious. We’ve just spent $10 million educating you!

– Warren Bennis
