Character creates…

consistency, and if your people know what they can expect from you, they will continue to look to you for leadership.

– John Maxwell

Be a yardstick…

… of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.

– Steve Jobs

 

You have to…

… look at leadership through the eyes of the followers and you have to live the message. What I have learned is that people become motivated when you guide them to the source of their own power and when you make heroes out of employees who personify what you want to see in the organisation.

– Anita Roddick

The secret of…

…a leader lies in the tests he has faced over the whole course of his life and the habit of action he develops in meeting those tests.

– Gail Sheehy

Contrary to…

… popular opinion, leadership is not a reserved position for a particular group of people who were elected or appointed, ordained or enthroned. Leadership is self-made, self-retained, self-inculcated and then exposed through a faithful, sincere and exemplary life.

– Israelmore Avivor

Leadership is…

… a series of behaviours rather than a role for heroes.

– Margaret Wheatley

Simplicity, patience, compassion…

…These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.

– Lao Tzu

We will remember…

… not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

– Martin Luther King Jr

A good head….

… and a good heart are always a formidable combination

– Nelson Mandela

A good leader….

… is a person who takes a little more than his share of the blame and a little less than his share of the credit

– John Maxwell
