It always…

… seems impossible until it’s done

– Nelson Mandela

An empowered….

… organisation is one in which individuals have the knowledge, skill, desire, and opportunity to personally succeed in a way that leads to collective organisational success

– Stephen R. Covey 

Yes, there are times….

…. when the gold medal only goes to the winner. But not in the race of life, where the winners are those who are superior not to others but to their former selves.

– Robert Cooper

 

True leadership…

… strengthens the followers. It is a process of teaching, setting an example, and empowering others. If you seek to lead, your ability will ultimately be measured in the successes of those around you.

– David Niven

 

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

No matter…

 

… what accomplishments you make, somebody helps you.

– Althea Gibson

Be a yardstick…

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

– Steve Jobs

 

If you believe…

 … that lack of authority prevents you from leading effectively, it is time to rethink your understanding of leadership.
– Mike Bonem & Roger Pattison

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

Co-leadership should…

….. permeate every organisation at every level.
– Warren Bennis & David Heenan
