…….. learned how to obey will know how to command.

Those who are ….

….. successfully to lead their fellow-men, should have once possessed the nobler feelings. We have all known individuals whose magnanimity was not likely to be troublesome on any occasion; but then they betrayed their own interests by unwisely omitting the consideration, that such feelings might exist in the breasts of those whom they had to guide and govern: for they themselves cannot even remember the time when in their eyes justice appeared preferable to expediency, the happiness of others to self-interest, or the welfare of a State to the advancement of a party.

– Arthur Helps

To be a great leader…..

…… and so always master of the situation, one must of necessity have been a great thinker in action.

– James Thomas

Leaders are expected……

…….. to look into the future, to gaze across the time horizon and communicate to us what they see. It’s not about being prescient or clairvoyant. It’s about being discerning and perceptive. It’s about noticing what’s around the corner.

– James Kouzes & Barry Posner

The first act of leadership is …

….. coming to grips with yourself, who you are, where you are, and what is of value to you, and shaping yourself by acts of conscious will into what you want to become.

– Fenwick English
