Outrageous goals can set direction and urgency, but they will only be words if there is no leader of the charge. Some executives pilot their organisations at slow speeds and low altitude because they believe that there is a human barrier to higher performance. But a few courageous leaders are breaking the human barriers and their organisations are achieving supersonic performance. – Stephen Covey The leader must have infectious optimism, and the determination to persevere in the face of difficulties. He must also radiate confidence, even he himself is not too certain of the outcome. The final test is the feelingyou have when you leave his presence after a conference. Have you a feeling of uplift and confidence? --- Field Marshall Montgomery

To inspire concretely you have to articulate three things: values, or what your company stands for; purpose, or why your people work at your company; and mission, or what the company is trying to achieve. The values inspire the workers. The purpose gives them a sense of accomplishment. The mission provides a challenge. Most visions fail due to a number of shortcomings. The don’t include all three elements. They aren’t concrete. They don’t inspire. They are not communicated well. They aren’t debated. They aren’t lived. --- Richard Hammermesh Leaders are made not born. Nurture can over nature in all cases, given the right training.

Leadership involves remembering past mistakes, an analysis of today’s achievements, and a well-grounded imagination in visualization the problems of the future – Stanley C. Allyn Conductors of great symphony orchestras do not play every musical instrument; yet through leadership the ultimate production is an expressive and unified combination of tones – Thomas D. Bailey The man who is worthy of being a leader of men will never complain about the stupidity of his helpers, the ingratitude of mankind nor the inappreciation of the public. These are all a part of the great game of life. To meet them and overcome them and not to go down before them in disgust, discouragement or defeat – that is the final proof of power. -- William J.H. Boetcker

Casson Leaders of men are later remembered less for the usefulness of what they have achieved than for the sweep of their endeavours – Charles de Gaulle I must follow the people. Am I not their leader? – Benjamin Disraeli It’s often a good idea to let the other fellow believe he is running things whether he is or not – William Feather
