Lead and….

… inspire people. Don’t try to manage and manipulate people. Inventories can be managed but people must be led.

– Ross Perot

No man is…..

…… good enough to govern another man without that other’s consent.

– Abraham Lincoln

Never doubt that…..

…. a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.

– Margaret Mead

Do what you…..

…… feel in your heart to be right–for you’ll be criticised anyway.

– Eleanor Roosevelt

Become the kind……

….. of leader that people would follow voluntarily; even if you had no title or position.

– Brian Tracy

I am reminded……

…….. how hollow the label of leadership sometimes is and how heroic followership can be.

– Warren Bennis

So much of…..

……. what we call management consists in making it difficult for people to work.

– Peter Drucker

A leader……

…….. you see, is one of the things that distinguishes a mob from a people.

– Frank Herbert

 

People try so hard…….

….. to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher — a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. No man can stand prominence these days…..  it is the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.

– F Scott Fitzgerald

 

When one sheep……

……. leads the way all the rest follow.

– Chinese Proverb
