Coaching…

…. isn’t an addition to a leader’s job, it’s an integral part of it

– George S. Odiorne

It is….

… a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it… anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job

– Douglas Adams

If you….

…. make people think they’re thinking, they’ll love you. If you really make them think, they’ll hate you

– Don Marquis

Leaders…..

… are more powerful role models when they learn than when they teach

– Rosabeth Moss Kantor

Leadership is…

…. an interactive conversation that pulls people toward becoming comfortable with the language of personal responsibility and commitment

– John Agno

Nothing is…

… so potent as the silent influence of a good example

– James Kent

I think leadership….

…. comes from integrity – that you do whatever you ask others to do. I think there are non-obvious ways to lead. Just by providing a good example as a parent, a friend, a neighbor makes it possible for other people to see better ways to do things. Leadership does not need to be a dramatic, fist in the air and trumpets blaring, activity

~ Scott Berkun

I am a….

… man of fixed and unbending principles, the first of which is to be flexible at all times

– Everett Dirksen

I often say….

… that leadership is deeply personal and inherently collective. That’s a paradox that effective leaders have to embrace. It does depend on them. It does depend on their convictions, their clarity, their personal commitment to their own cultivation. And on the other hand, it doesn’t depend on them. It’s an inherently collective phenomenon.

– Peter Senge

To command…

…. is to serve, nothing more and nothing less

– Andre Malraux
