Leaders…..

…….. touch a heart before they ask for a hand.

– John C Maxwell

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

The final test…..

….. of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on.

Leadership……

…… is taken, not given.

The genius of……

To be a leader…….

Great leaders are…..

Innovation……

……..distinguishes between a leader and a follower.

To be a great leader…..

…… and so always master of the situation, one must of necessity have been a great thinker in action.
