“A leader must lead……

….. Where others see obstacles, he must see opportunities. When others see problems, he must see possibilities … Civilization is not built on a negation but on an affirmation- an affirmation of the bright and promising possibilities that the future holds for those who are enterprising enough to pursue them.”

– David J Vaughan

“A leader isn’t someone …..

…….who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his strength to others so that they may have the strength to stand on their own.”

– Beth Revis

“True leaders understand…..

… that leadership is not about them but about those they serve. It is not about exalting themselves but about lifting others up.”

– Sheri L Dew

“If you want to build a ship…..

……, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”

– Antoine De Saint-Exupery

“I must admit……

……… that I have learned more from my negative experiences than I have ever learned from my positive ones.”

– John Paul Warren

“In the end,……

…….it is important to remember that we cannot become what we need to be, by remaining what we are.”

– Max DePree

“You are not here merely…..

….. to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.”

– Woodrow Wilson

“The adventure of life is to learn….

….. The purpose of life is to grow. The nature of life is to change. The challenge of life is to overcome. The essence of life is to care. The opportunity of like is to serve. The secret of life is to dare. The spice of life is to befriend. The beauty of life is to give.”

– William Arthur Ward

“Leadership cannot really be taught…..

……. It can only be learned.”

– Harold Geneen

 

I am endlessly fascinated…..

……. that playing football is considered a training ground for leadership, but raising children isn’t.

– Dee Dee Myers
