Self-actualisation…

… takes motivation, determination and discipline. Like everyone else, leaders must develop their brains over time and live with greater consciousness and awareness to become the leader they were meant to be.

– Anne Dranitsaris and Heather Dranitsaris-Hilliar

The good will…

… of the governed will be starved if not fed by the good deeds of the governors.

– Benjamin Franklin

Leaders are…

… creatures of their environment, but unlike most creatures, they are also movers of it. As movers of and within the organisation, they push it forward, at the same time shaping it as much as it shapes them.

– John Baldoni

 

Without leaps…

… of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.

– Gloria Steinem

A new leader…

… has to be able to change an organization that is dreamless, soulless and visionless… someone’s got to make a wake up call

– Warren Bennis

 

People will…

… forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel

– Maya Angelou

What we…

… do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world, is and remains immortal

– Albert Pine

People are…

… always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, make them.

– George Bernard Shaw

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 program, 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

Twenty years…

… from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

– Mark Twain.
