Keep your….

… fears to yourself, but share your inspiration with others

– Robert Louis Stevenson

If leadership is….

…… the act of going beyond what is … it begins by going beyond what is within ourselves.

– Kevin Cashman

“Keep your fears…..

….. to yourself, but share your courage with others.”

– Robert Louis Stevenson

“The world is full…..

……of men who want to be right, when actually the secret of a man’s strength and his pathway to true honour is his ability to admit fault when he has failed. God wants to fill the church with men who can say they are wrong when THEY ARE WRONG. A man who is willing to humble himself before God and his family and say:”I was wrong.” will find that his family has all the confidence in the world in him and will much more readily follow him. If he stubbornly refuses to repent or admit he was wrong, their confidence in him and in his leadership erodes.”

– Jim Anderson

“Great teams do not…..

….. hold back with one another. They are unafraid to air their dirty laundry. They admit their mistakes, their weaknesses, and their concerns without fear of reprisal.”

– Patrick Lencioni

“Leadership must be based on goodwill……

……. Goodwill does not mean posturing and, least of all, pandering to the mob. It means obvious and wholehearted commitment to helping followers. We are tired of leaders we fear, tired of leaders we love, and of tired of leaders who let us take liberties with them. What we need for leaders are men of the heart who are so helpful that they, in effect, do away with the need of their jobs. But leaders like that are never out of a job, never out of followers. Strange as it sounds, great leaders gain authority by giving it away.”

— Admiral James B. Stockdale


“In the course of history…..

….. there comes a time when humanity is called to shift to a new level of consciousness, to reach a higher moral ground. A time when we have to shed our fear and give hope to each other. That time is now.”

— Wangari Maathai
