A leader has…

…. the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done.

– Ralph Nader

 

A new leader….

…has to be able to change an organisation that is dreamless, soulless and visionless…. some has got to make a wake up call

– Warren G Bennis

 

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

The problems…

… that exist in this world can not be solved by the level of thinking that created them.

– Albert Einstein

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

Big thinking….

…. precedes great achievement

– Wilfred Peterson

The leader….

of the past… is a doer; of the present, a planner; of the future, a teacher. Their job is to develop capabilities; not to plan the company’s actions but to increase its capacity to act, its responsiveness, and its repertoire…. This kind of leader doesn’t need to know everything; on the contrary, they will want to be surrounded by people who know a whole lot more but trust them to weigh their competing claims

– Thomas A. Stewart.

Some men…

… see things as they are and say, “Why?” I dream of things that never were and say, ‘Why not?’”

– George Bernard Shaw

If you want….

….to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea

– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

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
