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.

“Followership is a discipline….
…. of supporting leaders and helping them to lead well. It is not submission, but the wise and good care of leaders, done out of a sense of gratitude for their willingness to take on the responsibilities of leadership, and a sense of hope and faith in their abilities and potential.”
— Reverend Paul Beedle
“A leader is…..
…… a dealer in hope.”
– Napoleon Bonaparte
“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
“You did what…..
……..your heart told you to do. It is what leaders, not followers, do.”
