~ Leadership is getting someone to do what they don't want to do, to achieve what they want to achieve. ~
~ True leadership must be for the benefit of the followers, not the enrichment of the leaders. ~
~ It is the responsibility of leadership to provide opportunity, and the responsibility of individuals to contribute. ~
~ The history of the world is full of men who rose to leadership, by sheer force of self-confidence, bravery and tenacity. ~
~ The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet. ~
~ Leadership development is self-development. ~
~ Leadership without support is like trying to make bricks without enough straw. True leaders reinforce their ideas and plans with strategic partnerships, alliances and supportive
audiences. ~
~ Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other. ~
~ Leadership is action, not position. ~
~ Leadership is the challenge to be something more than average. ~
~ Leadership is a matter of having people look at you and gain confidence, seeing how you react. If you're in control, they're in control. ~
~ Leadership is an opportunity to serve. It is not a trumpet call to self-importance. ~
