We need…

… to move from the leader as hero, to the leader as host

A good leader

inspires people to have confidence in the leader, a great leader inspires people to have confidence in themselves

The well-run….

Some Say That Fear Has Two Meanings…

Forget Everything And Run….

or

Face Everything And Rise….

But I prefer Will Smith’s view in the film After Earth….

“Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. That is near insanity. Do not misunderstand me danger is very real but fear is a choice.”

You can do…

…what I cannot do. I can do what you cannot do. Together we can do great things

– Mother Teresa

High sentiments….

…. always win in the end, The leaders who offer blood, toil, tears and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic

– George Orwell

Remember that…

…. it is far better to follow well than to lead indifferently

– John G Vance

Outstanding leaders…

…  go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it’s amazing what they can accomplish

– Sam Walton
