He who asks….

He who asks a question is a fool for a minute; he who does not remains a fool forever. When you realize that by changing your perspective, big things can be seen as little things, it becomes much harder to worry about anything. Commitment is an act, not a word.

– Jean-Paul Sartre

A promise….

A promise is a commitment and a commitment a contract. Not delivering on this breaches the most primal form of human relationship currency

– Agostino Renna

Conviction….

Conviction, commitment, credibility: the three pillars of morally courageous leadership.

– General John Michel

One person….

One person with commitment accomplishes more than
a thousand with an opinion.

– Orrin Woodward

While it is…

…. essential for a leader to mobilize commitment to high performance at all levels of an organisation, it is equally essential for leaders to stimulate ‘performance anxiety’ and drive concerns about the status quo downward through the organisation.

– David Hunter

Leadership is…

… an interactive conversation that pulls people toward becoming comfortable with the language of personal responsibility and commitment.

– John Agno

In 1893….

…. a young man was re-sitting the entrance examination to become an officer in the British Army for the third time. His name was Winston Churchill….

We can…

… practice leadership principles, but the only way to learn them is to lead. Not knowing it all is no excuse not to start

– Judy Columbus

Leadership is…

…. an interactive conversation that pulls people toward becoming comfortable with the language of personal responsibility and commitment

– John Agno

I often say….

… that leadership is deeply personal and inherently collective. That’s a paradox that effective leaders have to embrace. It does depend on them. It does depend on their convictions, their clarity, their personal commitment to their own cultivation. And on the other hand, it doesn’t depend on them. It’s an inherently collective phenomenon.

– Peter Senge
