There is always…

… much to be said for not attempting more than you can do and for making a certainty of what you try. But this principle, like many others in life has it exceptions.

– Winston Churchill

If I am…

…not for myself, who will be for me? If I am not for others, what am I? And if not now, when?

– Rabbi Hillel

One day…

…. Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. Which road do I take? she asked. Where do you want to go? was his response. I don’t know, Alice answered. Then, said the cat, it doesn’t matter.

– Lewis Carroll

Yes, there are times….

…. when the gold medal only goes to the winner. But not in the race of life, where the winners are those who are superior not to others but to their former selves.

– Robert Cooper

 

True leadership…

… strengthens the followers. It is a process of teaching, setting an example, and empowering others. If you seek to lead, your ability will ultimately be measured in the successes of those around you.

– David Niven

 

No matter…

 

… what accomplishments you make, somebody helps you.

– Althea Gibson

Be a yardstick…

… of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.

– Steve Jobs

 

Alone we can…

… do so little; together we can do so much.

 Helen Keller

You have to…

… look at leadership through the eyes of the followers and you have to live the message. What I have learned is that people become motivated when you guide them to the source of their own power and when you make heroes out of employees who personify what you want to see in the organisation.

– Anita Roddick

Co-leadership should…

….. permeate every organisation at every level.
– Warren Bennis & David Heenan
