Consider…

… the idea that charisma can be as much a liability as an asset. Your strength of personality can sow the seeds of problems

– Jim Collins

Servant-leadership is…

…. more than a concept, it is a fact. Any great leader, by which I also mean an ethical leader of any group, will see herself or himself as a servant of that group and will act accordingly

– M. Scott Peck

Leadership is…

…. an interactive conversation that pulls people toward becoming comfortable with the language of personal responsibility and commitment

– John Agno

Leadership…

… consists not in degrees of technique but in traits of character; it requires moral rather than athletic or intellectual effort, and it imposes on both leader and follower alike the burdens of self-restraint

– Lewis H. Lapham

Our deepest fear…

… is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others

-Marianne Williamson

Success is…

…… peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable

– John Wooden

Leaders….

… must be tough enough to fight,

tender enough to cry,

human enough to make mistakes,

humble enough to admit them,

strong enough to absorb the pain,

and resilient enough to bounce back and keep on moving.

– Jesse Jackson

We need…

…  not just a new generation of leadership but a new gender of leadership

– Bill Clinton

 

 

Remember….

…it is far better to follow than to lead indifferently

– John G Vance

 

There is….

… no passion to be found playing small –
in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

– Nelson Mandela
