There are some things….

There are some things you don’t have to know how it works – only that it works. While some people are studying the roots, others are picking the fruit. It just depends on “Dare to be what you ought to be; dare to be what you dream to be; dare to be the finest you can be. The more you dare, the surer you will be of gaining just what you dare!”

– Norman Vincent Peale

I am…

I am personally convinced that one person can be a change catalyst, a “transformer” in any situation, any organization. Such an individual is the yeast that can leaven an entire loaf. It requires vision, initiative, patience, respect, persistence, courage, and faith to be a transforming leader.

– Stephen R. Covey

Focus your life…

Focus your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little life of yourself. Because it’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realise your true potential.

– Barack Obama

A good leader…

A good leader is not the person who does things right, but the person who finds the right things to do

– Anthony T. Dadovano

I used…

I used to think that running an organization was equivalent to conducting a symphony orchestra. But I don’t think that’s quite it; it’s more like jazz. There is more improvisation.

– Warren Bennis

We…

We shouldn’t be looking for heroes… we should be looking for good ideas

– Noam Chomsky

I think…

I think that my leadership style is to get people to fear staying in place, to fear not changing.

– Louis Gerstner, Jr.

My mission…

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

– Maya Angelou

The question…

The question I ask myself like almost every day is, ‘Am I doing the most important thing I could be doing?

– Mark Zuckerberg

Good plans…

Good plans shape good decisions. That’s why good planning helps to make elusive dreams come true.
