You can…

You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.

– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

People…

People respond in accordance to how you relate to them. If you approach them on the basis of violence, that’s how they’ll react. But if you say, ‘We want peace, we want stability,’ we can then do a lot of things that will contribute towards the progress of our society.

– Nelson Mandele.

True leaders…

True leaders always practice the 3 R’s – Respect for self; Respect for others & Responsibility for their actions

Leadership is…

Leadership is the ability to establish standards and manage a creative climate where people are self-motivated toward the mastery of long term constructive goals, in a participatory environment of mutual respect, compatible with personal values.

– Mike Vance

The greatest gift…

The greatest gift a leader can get is the gift of feedback. When someone takes the time to pause, reflect on what’s happened, and communicate back what they saw and heard, and how it made them feel and act – they have offered the greatest gift of all.

– Janeen Latini

Too bad…

… that most people stop rowing when they get to the rudder.

– Alfred Polgar

Leadership flows…

… from the minds of followers more than from the titles of leaders, more from the perception of willing followers than from anointment.

– Lane Secretan

Your job…

… gives you authority. Your behaviour gives you respect.

– Irwin Federman

Leadership is…

… the ability to establish standards and manage a creative climate where people are self-motivated toward the mastery of long term constructive goals, in a participatory environment of mutual respect, compatible with personal values.

No amount…

…. of training in leadership skills, courses in management methods, power titles, promotions, or associations can substitute for the right attitudes
