Quotes
For leaders, the first task in management has nothing to do with leading others; Step one poses the challenge of knowing and managing oneself.
Leadership is not domination. It is the act of persuading people to work toward a common goal.
Gifted leadership occurs when heart and head & feeling and thought meet. These are the two winds that allow a leader to soar.
