The respect…

The respect that leadership must have requires that one’s ethics be without question. A leader not only stays above the line between right and wrong, he stays well clear of the grey areas.

– Alan Bernard

The way…

The way you sustain and improve upon a culture is by fostering a sense of gratitude for what is best about it. You celebrate the good in your story while putting the bad in the correct context.

Tradition…

Tradition does not mean that the living are dead, it means that the dead are living.

Encourage dissent…

Encourage dissent: Leaders should have associates who have contrary views, who are devil’s advocates, “variance sensors” who can tell them the difference between what is expected and what is really happening, between what they want to hear and what they need to hear. There are too many naked emperors running around today.

– Warren G Bennis

You cannot…..

You cannot give people lasting help by doing for them what they were supposed to do for themselves

Disciplining yourself…..

Disciplining yourself to do what is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.

It is….

It is absolutely necessary for me to have persons that can think for me, as well as execute orders

The role of Leadership…

The role of leadership is to create a sense of belonging in which an individual’s attributes, talents and values are affirmed

Too many mangers….

Too many managers talk too much. The two most important words for a player, or for any human being, there is nothing better than hearing “Well done.” And few reprimands are as powerful as silence

– Sir Alex Ferguson
