Self-actualisation…

… takes motivation, determination and discipline. Like everyone else, leaders must develop their brains over time and live with greater consciousness and awareness to become the leader they were meant to be.

… yields far greater rewards than pursuing goals

Leadership…

… like swimming, cannot be learned by reading about it.

– Henry Mintzberg

There are some things…

… you don’t have to know how it works – only that it works. While some people are studying the roots, others are picking the fruit. It just depends on “Dare to be what you ought to be; dare to be what you dream to be; dare to be the finest you can be. The more you dare, the surer you will be of gaining just what you dare!”

– Norman Vincent Peale

Everything…

… that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

– Carl Jung

No man…

… ever became great or good except through many and great mistakes.

– William E. Gladstone

The goal…

…. of many leaders is to get people to think more highly of the leader. The goal of a great leader is to help people to think more highly of themselves.

– J. Carla Nortcutt

Wise bosses…

….have the confidence to act on what they know and the humility to doubt their knowledge

– Bob Sutton

Change will not…

… come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek

– Barack Obama
