I am endlessly fascinated…..

……. that playing football is considered a training ground for leadership, but raising children isn’t.

– Dee Dee Myers

Never doubt that…..

…….a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.

– Margaret Mead

A desperate disease……

…. requires a dangerous remedy.

– Guy Fawkes

I am personally convinced that….

…….one person can be a change catalyst, a transformer in any situation, any organization. Such an individual is yeast that can leaven an entire loaf. It requires vision, initiative, patience, respect, persistence, courage, and faith to be a transforming leader.”

– Stephen R Covey

“The leaders who work most effectively….

…… it seems to me, never say ‘I’. And that’s not because they have trained themselves not to say ‘I’. They don’t think ‘I’. They think ‘we’; they think ‘team’. They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don’t sidestep it, but ‘we’ gets the credit…. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.”

– Peter F Drucker

“The leader has to be practical……

….. and a realist, yet must talk the language of the visionary and the idealist.”

— Eric Hoffer

Leadership is the capacity……

…….. to translate vision into reality.

-Warren G Bennis

“The leader has to be practical and a realist……

……… yet must talk the language of the visionary and the idealist.”

— Eric Hoffer

If your actions inspire others……

…….. to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.
John Quincy Adams

Rely on your own strength of body and soul.

 Take for your star self-reliance, faith, honesty and industry. Don’t take too much advice — keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy, invincible determination with the right motive, are the levers that move the world.
