Kindle Notes & Highlights
Enlightened leaders get more out of their people because they know that each person already has everything it takes to be successful.
Don’t tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results. —George S. Patton
Shallow people believe in luck. Wise and strong people believe in cause and effect. —Ralph Waldo Emerson
A true leader has the courage to represent upper management, not run it down. A true leader says we.
Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things. —Peter Drucker
owners are people who take full responsibility for their happiness, and victims are always lost in their unfortunate stories. Victims blame others, blame circumstance, and are hard to deal with. Owners own their own morale. They own their response to any situation.
And as General George Patton used to say, “There are three principles of leadership: 1) example, 2) example, and 3) example.”
“THINK LIKE A HERO (who can I help today?), WORK LIKE AN ARTIST (what else can we try?), REFUSE TO BE ORDINARY (pursue excellence, then kill it.), and CELEBRATE (but take no credit.).”
A leader has to be able to change an organization that is dreamless, soulless and visionless...someone’s got to make a wake up call. —Warren Bennis
Simplify. Focus on results. You will always get what you focus on. If you merely focus on activities, that’s what you’ll get...a whole lot of activities. But if you focus on results, that’s what you’ll get. A whole lot of results.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader. —John Quincy Adams
