Good leadership……

……. is largely invisible.

– Brian Herbert & Kevin Anderson

Unless today……

is well lived, tomorrow is not important.”

– Alan Sakowitz

No general can…..

……. fight his battles alone. He must depend upon his lieutenants, and his success depends upon his ability to select the right man for the right place.

– Philip Armour

There is a…..

……. troublesome humour some men have, that if they may not lead, they will not follow; but had rather a thing were never done, than not done their own way, tho’ other ways very desirable.

– William Penn

Control is …..

….. not leadership; management is not leadership; leadership is leadership is leadership. If you seek to lead, invest at least 50 percent of your time leading yourself–your own purpose, ethics, principles, motivation, conduct. Invest at least 20 percent leading those with authority over you and 15 percent leading your peers. If you don’t understand that you work for your mislabeled ‘subordinates,’ then you know nothing of leadership. You know only tyranny.

– Dee Hock

Those who are ….

….. successfully to lead their fellow-men, should have once possessed the nobler feelings. We have all known individuals whose magnanimity was not likely to be troublesome on any occasion; but then they betrayed their own interests by unwisely omitting the consideration, that such feelings might exist in the breasts of those whom they had to guide and govern: for they themselves cannot even remember the time when in their eyes justice appeared preferable to expediency, the happiness of others to self-interest, or the welfare of a State to the advancement of a party.

– Arthur Helps

Rely on your own…..

….. strength of body and soul. Take for your star self-reliance, faith, honesty and industry. Don’t take too much advice — keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy, invincible determination with the right motive, are the levers that move the world.

– Noah Porter

To be a leader…….

…….. you have to make people want to follow you, and nobody wants to follow someone who doesn’t know where he is going.

– Joe Namath

Truly inspiring leaders…..

….. are authentic, that is, they have done their strategic homework, they have a vision that matches the people they are working with, and they believe in that vision deeply. They are not faking it.

– Ronald Burke & Gary Cooper
