I am a….

… man of fixed and unbending principles, the first of which is to be flexible at all times

– Everett Dirksen

We have found….

…that by reaching for what appears to be the impossible we often actually achieve the impossible

– Jack Welch

Leaders….

… must be tough enough to fight,

tender enough to cry,

human enough to make mistakes,

humble enough to admit them,

strong enough to absorb the pain,

and resilient enough to bounce back and keep on moving.

– Jesse Jackson

Do not…

… wait for leaders. Do it alone, person to person

– Mother Teresa

It is…

…the responsibility of leadership to provide opportunity, and the responsibility of individuals to contribute

– William Pollard

 

Who succeeds…

…. in forming and leading a great group? He or she is almost always a pragmatic dreamer. They are people who get things done, but they are people with immortal longings. Often, they are scientifically minded people with poetry in their souls

– Warren G Bennis

 

Be one who….

… influences and not instigates, be one who is pure and not prejudiced with focus on your character and not just charisma, with focus on truth and not just talent, and you will see how lives are impacted

– Annu Ratha

There is….

… no passion to be found playing small –
in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

– Nelson Mandela

Your time….

… is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.
Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary.

– Steve Jobs

Leaders are…

… people who are able to express themselves fully…they know who they are, what their strengths and weaknesses are, and how to fully deploy their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses. They also know what they want, why they want it, and how to communicate what they want to others, in order to gain compensation and support. Finally, they know how to achieve their goals. The key to full self-expression is understanding one’s self and the world, and the key to understanding is learning – from one’s own life and experience.

– Warren Bennis
