Followership does not…

… mean changing the rank of followers but changing their response to their rank, their response to their superiors and to the situation at hand.”

— Barbara Kellerman

There is….

… no man living that can not do more than he thinks he can

– Henry Ford

A good leader….

… is a person who takes a little more than his share of the blame and a little less than his share of the credit

– John Maxwell

If a man does…

… not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away

– Henry David Thoreau

You cannot be…

a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too

— Sam Rayburn

Impossible is just…

… a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than believe in the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact; It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration; It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing

– Muhammed Ali

Do what….

….. you can, with what you have, where you are.”

— Theodore Roosevelt

It is better to…

… lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership

– Nelson Mandela

Great teams do not…

hold back with one another. They are unafraid to air their dirty laundry. They admit their mistakes, their weaknesses, and their concerns without fear of reprisal

– Patrick Lencioni

Only the guy…

… who isn’t rowing has time to rock the boat

– Jean-Paul Sartre
