“Leaders live……

……by choice, not by accident.”

– Mark Gorman

“When you’re existing…..

….. life happens to you, and you manage; when you’re living, you happen to life and you lead.”

– Steve Maraboli

“A vision we give……

…. to others of who and what they could become has power when it echoes what the spirit has already spoken into their souls.”

– Larry Crabb

“If you really want…..

……. the key to success, start by doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing.”

– Brad Szollose

“In the end,……

…….it is important to remember that we cannot become what we need to be, by remaining what we are.”

– Max DePree

“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

“It is a curious thing…..

“…… Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.”

– J K Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

“Leaders are not, …..

…… as we are often led to think, people who go along with huge crowds following them. Leaders are people who go their own way without caring, or even looking to see, whether anyone is following them. “Leadership qualities” are not the qualities that enable people to attract followers, but those that enable them to do without them. They include, at the very least, courage, endurance, patience, humour, flexibility, resourcefulness, stubbornness, a keen sense of reality, and the ability to keep a cool and clear head, even when things are going badly. True leaders, in short, do not make people into followers, but into other leaders.”

– John Holt

“Our chief want is …..

……. someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.”

– Ralph Waldo Emerson
