The first step….

The first step in becoming a leader, then, is to recognise the context for what it is – a breaker, not a maker; a trap, not a launching pad; an end, not a beginning – and declare your independence.

– Warren G Bennis

We cannot….

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

– Sheryl Sandberg

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

 

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

Only those….

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

– T S Eliot

Some changes….

Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realise that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge

– Eckhart Tolle

If….

If the rate of change on the outside exceeds the rate of change on the inside, the end is near

– Jack Welch

If…

If you focus on results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results.

– Jack Dixon

Make a point…

Make a point to continually search for a better way of doing things, even when things are going well, to ensure that a better alternative has not been overlooked and to keep your creative talents in practice.

– John Maxwell
