Words To Lead By

Looking for leadership?

Look in the mirror

A leader is…a dealer in hope

Vision is the art of seeing things invisible

Where there is no vision…the people perish

Study the past. Live the moment. Plan the future

Leadership is action…not position

There are no shortcuts…to any place worth going

Don’t wait for your ship to come in…swim out and meet it

Most things are difficult…before they are easy

Act like you are invincible. Know that you are not

Fail to honor people…and they will fail to honor you

Blame softly. Praise Loudly.

The more you say the less they remember

Be grateful for luck. Don’t count on it

It’s not what happens when you’re there.

It’s what happens when you’re not

Think with your heart

Authority is a poor substitute for leadership

Hold everyone to a high standard. Hold yourself to a high standard

Listen…and lead

Remember…there’s always room at the top

But even more at the bottom

So…seek out people…better than you

So…seek out people…braver than you

The time is always right…to do what’s right

Keep your promises. Keep your confidences.

Keep your temper

Why not go out on a limb? Isn’t that were the fruit is?

Be out…and about

Enjoy the process…but crave the goal

We will either find a way…or make one

Be not afraid of greatness

Real leaders are ordinary people…with extraordinary determination
