Quotes by John Dickson (?)

“The real power of effective leadership is maximizing other people’s potential which inevitably demands also ensuring that they get the credit. When our ego won’t let us build another person up, when everything has to build us up, then the effectiveness of the organization reverts to depending instead on how good we are in the technical aspects of what we do. And we have stopped leading and inspiring others to great heights.”
― John Dickson, Humilitas: A Lost Key to Life, Love, and Leadership

“Humility is the noble choice to forgo your status, deploy your resources or use your influence for the good of others before yourself.”

“Atheism certainly promotes a low view of humanity- how much lower can you get than thinking yourself an accidental by-product of a series of even larger accidents!”
