How wonderful…

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment to improve the world.

– Anne Frank

A good manager…

A good manager is a man who isn’t worried about his own career but rather the careers of those who work for him.

–  HSM Burns

Give a man…

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

– Maimonides

 

Leadership is…

Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration—of oneself and of others. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes. Leadership is not a formula or a programme, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine

– Lance Secretan

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

The best way…

The best way for us to perhaps influence others is to instead focus on ourselves by doing our best – then others will be influenced from our leadership by example.

– Lisa Kardos

A leader…

A leader has two important characteristics; first, he is going somewhere; second, he is able to persuade other people to go with him.

– Maximilien de Robespierre

The greatest leader…

The greatest leader is not necessarily the person who does the greatest things. He is the one who gets the people to do the greatest things.

– Ronald Reagan

More than anything…

More than anything else today, followers believe they are part of a system, a process that lacks heart. If there is one thing a leader can do to connect with followers at a human, or better still a spiritual level, it is to become engaged with them fully, to share experiences and emotions, and to set aside the processes of leadership we have learned by rote.

– Lance Secreton

Think of managing change…

Think of managing change as an adventure. It tests your skills and abilities. It brings forth talent that may have been dormant. Change is also a training ground for leadership. When we think of leaders, we remember times of change, innovation and conflict. Leadership is often about shaping a new way of life. To do that, you must advance change, take risks and accept responsibility for making change happen.

– Charles E. Rice
