How do you…

How do you know you have won? When the energy is coming the other way and when your people are visibly growing individually and as a group.

– Sir John Harvey-Jones

Success is…

Success is…knowing your purpose in life, growing to reach your maximum potential and sowing seeds that benefit others.

– John Maxwell

Don’t be afraid…

Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great

Leadership…

Leadership is not what you know or who you know, but how to transfer what you know into the hearts and minds of who you know.

– Mike Myatt

A moment…

A moment of choice is a moment of truth. It’s the testing point of our character and competence.

– Stephen Covey

You see…

You see things; and you say, “Why?” But I dream things that never were; and I say “Why not?”

– George Bernard Shaw

Rely on your own….

Rely on your own strength of body and soul. Take for your star self-reliance, faith, honesty and industry. Don’t take too much advice — keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy, invincible determination with the right motive, are the levers that move the world.

– Noah Porter

If people knew…

If people knew how hard I worked to gain my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful after all

– Michelangelo

Life is…

Life is the leader’s laboratory, and exemplary leaders use it to conduct as many experiments as possible. Try, fail, learn. Try, fail, learn. Try, fail, learn. That’s the leader’s mantra. Leaders are learners. They learn from their failures as well as their successes, and they make it possible for others to do the same.

– James Kouzes and Barry Posner

 

If you…

If you hear a voice within you say, ‘You cannot paint,’ then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

– Vincent Van Gogh
