What chance gathers…..

…… she easily scatters. A great person attracts great people and knows how to hold them together.

– Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

No man is good enough …..

…. to govern another man without that other’s consent.

….. of authority prevents you from leading effectively, it is time to rethink your understanding of leadership.”

……. is saying no, not yes. It is very easy to say yes.”

“A great person….

……. attracts great people and knows how to hold them together.”

– Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

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, invincible determination with the right motive, are the levers that move the world.

– Noah Porter

“A leader isn’t someone …..

…….who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his strength to others so that they may have the strength to stand on their own.”

– Beth Revis

“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.”

– Sheri L Dew
