It takes…

… great goals to lead us out of our everyday limits into accomplishing more than we ever thought we could or would.

– Robert Cooper

Leadership…

… is about taking responsibility, not making excuses

– Mitt Romney

Dreams…

… pass into the reality of action. From the action stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.

– Anais Nin

Giving people…

… self confidence is by far the most important thing that I can do because then they will act.

– Jack Welch

Inaction…

…is not the antidote of fear

-Anon

The most…

…empowering thing you can do in your life is to know yourself

– Mindy Grossman

Keep…

… your fears to yourself, but share your inspiration with others

– Robert Louis Stevenson

Leaders must…

… be tough enough to fight, tender enough to cry, human enough to make mistakes, humble enough to admit them, strong enough to absorb the pain, and resilient enough to bounce back and keep on moving.

– Jesse Jackson

The pessimist….

… complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The leader adjusts the sails.

– John Maxwell

While it is…

…. essential for a leader to mobilize commitment to high performance at all levels of an organisation, it is equally essential for leaders to stimulate ‘performance anxiety’ and drive concerns about the status quo downward through the organisation.

– David Hunter
