Your role….

… as a leader is even more important than you might imagine. You have the power to help people become winners.

– Ken Blanchard

I do not think….

…… that power can be delegated because I believe that genuine power is capacity. Coercive power is the curse of the universe; coactive power, the enrichment and advancement of every human soul.

– Mary Parker Follett

Nearly all…

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

… to move from the leader as hero, to the leader as host

– Margaret Wheatley

Nearly all…

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

….met a man so ignorant that I could not learn something from him

If I am…

…not for myself, who will be for me? If I am not for others, what am I? And if not now, when?

If you believe…

 … that lack of authority prevents you from leading effectively, it is time to rethink your understanding of leadership.
– Mike Bonem & Roger Pattison

You have to…

… look at leadership through the eyes of the followers and you have to live the message. What I have learned is that people become motivated when you guide them to the source of their own power and when you make heroes out of employees who personify what you want to see in the organisation.

– Anita Roddick
