Rely on your own strength……

……. of body and soul. Take for your star self-reliance, faith, honesty and industry. Don’t take too much advice — keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy, invincible determination with the right motive, are the levers that move the world.

– Noah Porter

“You did what…..

……..your heart told you to do. It is what leaders, not followers, do.”

– Tonya Hurley

“Anybody will do for you……

 

………but not for me. I must have somebody.”

– Abraham Lincoln

“A leader isn’t someone …..

…….who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his strength to others so that they may have the strength to stand on their own.”

– Beth Revis

“I must admit……

……… that I have learned more from my negative experiences than I have ever learned from my positive ones.”

– John Paul Warren

“It’s time to care;…..

……. it’s time to take responsibility; it’s time to lead; it’s time for a change; it’s time to be true to our greatest self; it’s time to stop blaming others.”

– Steve Maraboli

“The greatest leader is……

……. not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.”

– Ronald Reagan

“The supreme quality for leadership……

…….. is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.”

– Dwight D. Eisenhower

I am endlessly fascinated…..

……. that playing football is considered a training ground for leadership, but raising children isn’t.

– Dee Dee Myers

“The leaders who work most effectively……

…….. it seems to me, never say ‘I’. And that’s not because they have trained themselves not to say ‘I’. They don’t think ‘I’. They think ‘we’; they think ‘team’. They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don’t sidestep it, but ‘we’ gets the credit…. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.”

– Peter F. Drucker
