A leader…
A leader is a man who assumes responsibility.
He says: I was beaten.
He does not say: My men were beaten.
– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
You can…
You can and should set your own limits and clearly articulate them. This takes courage, but it is also liberating and empowering and often earns you new respect.
– Rosalind Brewer,
Too little…
Too little confidence and you’re unable to act; too much confidence and you’re unable to hear.
-John Meada
Dissatisfaction…
Dissatisfaction and discouragement are not caused by the absence of things but the absence of vision.

True leaders…
True leaders understand that leadership is not about them but about those they serve. It is not about exalting themselves but about lifting others up.

Self-actualisation…
Self-actualisation takes motivation, determination and discipline. Like everyone else, leaders must develop their brains over time and live with greater consciousness and awareness to become the leader they were meant to be.

It is only when…
It is only when people begin to shake loose from their preconceptions, from the ideas that have dominated them, that we begin to receive a sense of opening, a sense of vision…That is the sort of time we live in now. We…live in an epoch in which the solid ground of our preconceived ideas shakes daily under our uncertain feet.
– Barbara Ward
A human being…
A human being is a part of the whole called by us Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to enhance all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
– Albert Einstein
Any intelligent man…
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
– E.F. Schumacher
