There is only one…..

real sin and that is to persuade oneself that the second best is anything but second best.

– Doris Lessing

To win the big stakes…..

…… in this changed world, you must catch the spirit of the great pioneers of the past, whose dreams have given to civilization all that it has of value, the spirit that serves as the life-blood of our own country – your opportunity and mine, to develop and market our talents.

– Napoleon Hill

 

As you go…..

……. the way of life, you will see a great chasm. Jump.
It is not as wide as you think.

– Joseph Campbell

Good leadership……

……. is largely invisible.

– Brian Herbert & Kevin Anderson

Unless today……

is well lived, tomorrow is not important.”

– Alan Sakowitz

A man may die….

……. nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.

 

– John F Kennedy

No general can…..

……. fight his battles alone. He must depend upon his lieutenants, and his success depends upon his ability to select the right man for the right place.

– Philip Armour

Leadership is….

….. the ability to establish standards and manage a creative climate where people are self-motivated toward the mastery of long term constructive goals, in a participatory environment of mutual respect, compatible with personal values.

– Mike Vance

Control is …..

….. not leadership; management is not leadership; leadership is leadership is leadership. If you seek to lead, invest at least 50 percent of your time leading yourself–your own purpose, ethics, principles, motivation, conduct. Invest at least 20 percent leading those with authority over you and 15 percent leading your peers. If you don’t understand that you work for your mislabeled ‘subordinates,’ then you know nothing of leadership. You know only tyranny.

– Dee Hock

Great leaders….

……. genuinely care for and love the people they lead more than they love leading itself. Leadership without love degenerates into self-serving manipulation.

– Rick Warren
