The manager…

… asks how and when; the leader asks what and why

– Warren Bennis

Cautious…

…careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world’s estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences

– Susan Anthony

It always….

…seems impossible until it is done

– Nelson Mandela

If we….

…. cannot envision the world we would like to live in, we cannot work towards its creation. If we cannot place ourselves in it in our imagination, we will not believe it is possible

– Chellis Glendinning

The true…

… mark of a leader is the willingness to stick with a bold course of action — an unconventional business strategy, a unique product-development roadmap, a controversial marketing campaign — even as the rest of the world wonders why you’re not marching in step with the status quo. In other words, real leaders are happy to zig while others zag. They understand that in an era of hyper-competition and non-stop disruption, the only way to stand out from the crowd is to stand for something special

– Bill Taylor

A ship…

…. in the harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for

– William Shedo

Beware of…

… those who stand aloof and greet each venture with reproof. The world would stop if things were run by men who say ‘it can’t be done’

– Samuel Glove

The meeting…

… of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed

– Carl Jung

Too bad…

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

– Alfred Polgar

Humans…

… are producers of their life circumstance not just products of them

– Albert Bandura
