To lead people, walk beside them …

… As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence.

The next best, the people honor and praise.

The next, the people fear;

and the next, the people hate …

When the best leader’s work is done the people say,

“We did it ourselves!”

– Lao-tsu

Do not…

… wait for leaders. Do it alone, person to person

– Mother Teresa

It is…

…the responsibility of leadership to provide opportunity, and the responsibility of individuals to contribute

– William Pollard

 

Good leaders…

…. make people feel that they’re at the very heart of things, not at the periphery. Everyone feels that he or she makes a difference to the success of the organization. When that happens people feel centered and that gives their work meaning

– Warren Bennis

Remember….

…it is far better to follow than to lead indifferently

– John G Vance

 

The high…

…destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule

The problems…

… that exist in this world can not be solved by the level of thinking that created them.

– Albert Einstein
