The secret of…

… leadership is simple: Do what you believe in. Paint a picture of the future. Go there. People will follow.

– Seth Godin

The led…

… must not be compelled; they must be able to choose their own leader.
– Albert Einstein

The single biggest…

… way to impact an organisation is to focus on leadership development. There is almost no limit to the potential of an organisation that recruits good people, raises them up as leaders and continually develops them.

– John C Maxwell

Contrary to…

… popular opinion, leadership is not a reserved position for a particular group of people who were elected or appointed, ordained or enthroned. Leadership is self-made, self-retained, self-inculcated and then exposed through a faithful, sincere and exemplary life.

– Israelmore Avivor

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, humor, 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

You…

… can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start…you will.

– Stephen King

Leadership is…

… a series of behaviours rather than a role for heroes.

– Margaret Wheatley

Simplicity, patience, compassion…

…These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.

– Lao Tzu

Our chief want…

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

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

He is ….

 … a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.

– Epictetuss
