are not born great, they grow great . . .

Do more…

…. than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work

– William Arthur Ward

How do you…

… make sure you get the bubbling up of ideas through a coalition of energy, rather the boiling down that consensus inevitably provokes? It’s about eliminating all the ordinary, in-between stuff that is no good. You have to cut it out and concentrate all the energy on stretching for the best. Then the really good stuff acts as a magnet for more. If you allow middling stuff to stay – the filler stuff – then that works as a magnet for more of the same too

– Siobhan Davies

Success is…

peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable

Leadership….

… happens at every level of the organisation and no one can shirk from this responsibility

– Jerry Junkins

The ultimate leader….

…. is one who is willing to develop people to the point that they eventually surpass him or her in knowledge and ability

True leaders…

– Bill Byrd,

A good leader

inspires people to have confidence in the leader, a great leader inspires people to have confidence in themselves

Nearly all…

…. men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power

– Abraham Lincoln
