Never doubt that…..

…….a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.

“The leaders who work most effectively……

…….. it seems to me, never say ‘I’. And that’s not because they have trained themselves not to say ‘I’. They don’t think ‘I’. They think ‘we’; they think ‘team’. They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don’t sidestep it, but ‘we’ gets the credit…. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.”

– Peter F. Drucker

Nothing so conclusively proves……

…….. a man’s ability to lead others as what he does from day to day to lead himself.”

– Thomas J Watson Sr.

“The challenge of leadership is …..

……. to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humour, but without folly.”

– Jim Rohn

I think what actually works best…..

……… is local-level individual targeting of key leadership nodes.

– John Abizaid

Let him who would be moved….

……… to convince others, be first moved to convince himself.

– Thomas Carlyle

“The leader is one who…..

……. mobilizes others toward a goal shared by leaders and followers. … Leaders, followers and goals make up the three equally necessary supports for leadership.”

– Gary Wills

Certain Trumpets:The Call of Leaders

 

Leadership is intangible……

……. and therefore no weapon ever designed can replace it.
