The essence….

…. of leadership is relationship; influencing people to achieve things together that can’t be achieved alone

– Leonard Sweet

How do you…

… make sure you get the bubbling up of ideas through a coalition of energy, rather the boiling down that consensus inevitably provokes? It’s about eliminating all the ordinary, in-between stuff that is no good. You have to cut it out and concentrate all the energy on stretching for the best. Then the really good stuff acts as a magnet for more. If you allow middling stuff to stay – the filler stuff – then that works as a magnet for more of the same too

– Siobhan Davies

Leadership….

… happens at every level of the organisation and no one can shirk from this responsibility

– Jerry Junkins

To be…

able to lead others, a man must be willing to go forward alone

– Harry Truman

We need…

… to move from the leader as hero, to the leader as host

– Margaret Wheatley

True leaders…

… are the first to admit that they don’t know everything and that they need help

– Bill Byrd,

A good leader

inspires people to have confidence in the leader, a great leader inspires people to have confidence in themselves

– Eleanor Roosevelt

The strength…

…. of the team is each individual member…the strength of each member is the team

– Phil Jackson

You can do…

…what I cannot do. I can do what you cannot do. Together we can do great things

– Mother Teresa

Leaders are….

… visionaries with a poorly developed sense of fear and no concept of the odds stacked against them

– Robert Jarvik
