If….

….. at first the idea is not absurd, then there will be no hope for it

– Albert Einstein

The single biggest….

… way to impact an organization is to focus on leadership development. There is almost no limit to the potential of an organization that recruits good people, raises them up as leaders and continually develops them

– John C Maxwell

Every man….

gives his life for what he believes. Every woman gives her life for what she believes. Sometimes people believe in little or nothing, and so they give their lives to little or nothing. One life is all we have, and we live it as we believe in living it…and then it’s gone

– Joan of Arc

It is what…

… we make of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another

– Nelson Mandela

A leader’s…

… role is to raise people’s aspirations for what they can become and to release their energies so they will try to get there

– David Gergen

 

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

Leave your…

…mark where others can only dream of going

– Anon

The leader….

of the past… is a doer; of the present, a planner; of the future, a teacher. Their job is to develop capabilities; not to plan the company’s actions but to increase its capacity to act, its responsiveness, and its repertoire…. This kind of leader doesn’t need to know everything; on the contrary, they will want to be surrounded by people who know a whole lot more but trust them to weigh their competing claims

– Thomas A. Stewart.

Our business…

… in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves

– E. Joseph Cossman

Leadership is….

not the private reserve of a few charismatic men and women. It is a process ordinary people use when they are bringing forth the best from themselves and others

– Anon
