A leader is skating up hill on a slippery slope when Servant Leadership is not part of a leaders philosophy.
~ Donavan Nelson Butler
Its been my experience during my military career that a leader displaying a THIRST for power will ultimately have a APPETITE for destruction to go along with it.
What Africa lacks is not lack of resources or talent but the lack of strategic leadership.
~ Oscar Bimpong
True leadership is not defined by notoriety, power, prestige, status, or job title...
~ Angie Morgan
The personal values managers reported being the most under pressure to compromise to do their jobs successfully: 1. Family 2. Integrity.
~ Stan Slap
The question is not how to get managers’ emotional commitment but why manager’s don’t give it even if they like their company.
Bury My Heart is a life-altering approach to turning managers into unconditionally committed leaders.
Man is born to dream, to be enlightened, to connect and to be fulfilled. Managers are too.
When leaders lack expertise, nothing else works
~ V.s. Parani
Foolish is the leader whom in the midst of organizational chaos believes since no one is approaching them with issues or concerns then everything must be doing fine. When your Soldiers cease communicating with you are 3ft into a 6ft hole.
As long as you're actively trying to achieve your goals your successes are rewards and your short comings are lessons learned
Leading by example through Servant Leadership used to be a badge of honor that distinguished you from the Corps of the Blue Falcon. Present day I see the ranks of the Blue Falcon surging in a flagless flotilla of blurred morals, a low tide of integrity, and selfish ethics adrift with no anchorage. The pulse of the led is directly influenced by the organizational heart rate of the leader.
Know when to push, pull or hold your followers, lest you push them while they are on the edge of a cliff
~ Lazarus Takawira
Some might argue that a diamond is the earths hardest carbon based substance. However, I'd challenge that with the resolve, resilience, and tenacity of a committed carbon based Noncommissioned Officer.
I'm often called in as a coach and speaker to motivate staff, teams, the public and leaders. The key to this is simple; you cannot truly, deeply and sustainably motivate anybody until you know what their motives are...what motivates them...?
~ Rasheed Ogunlaru
Truth is after you've put out all the INFO to your Soldiers in formation they'll soon forget what you said but will never forget what you did behind those words.
Even the most absent minded Soldier will develope a memory like a elephant when mistreated.
The fragile ego of a poor leader can not resist the urge to tug at the delicate fabric of good order and disipline thus unraveling their own true nature.
Love cares about you. Leadership carries you.
~ Alin Sav
Being a young leader is not the problem, having a small mind is
Don’t remove the ladder once you done with it. Leave it for others to climb too
Leadership without a following is null and at best loitering
Judge behavior, not motives.
~ Miles Anthony Smith
Micromanagement is the destroyer of momentum.
The importance of momentum in your organization cannot be understated!
A praiseworthy King is he who doesn't seek the most expensive throne, rather the most effective leadership style.
~ Gugu Mona
United a herd is an army, divided a herd is fair game.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
I hang around shepherds because I can't talk to sheep.
~ James Jean-Pierre
Great leaders make an impact with limited resources and inefficient leaders cannot yield good returns even with abundant resources.
A true leader inspires by being among the people, not above them.
~ Lynda Cheldelin Fell
The king should be the servant of his people, and seek to uplift them and their lives.
~ Aleksandra Layland
Do not hire those who are incapable.Do not fire those who are capable.A small, devoted army is greaterthan a large, indifferent one.
Your employees are your warriors, you are their general. Each sale is a victory.
If you despise your people,you will disregard them.If you hate your people,you will harm them.If you esteem your people,you will serve them.If you love your people,you will even die for them.
Lead rationally.Lead responsibly.Lead resiliently.Lead reliably.
What supporters say about their leadertells men a third about who he is.What supporters do for their leadertells men two thirds about who he is.What supporters give up for their leadertells men all of who he is.
A general is powerless without an army.An army is directionless without a general.To win battles a general and an army need each other.
Kings struggle to rule over nations,men struggle to rule over themselves;God effortlessly rules the universe.
In serving the poor,one serves humanity.In serving mankind,one serves equity.In serving goodness,one serves God.In serving the Creator,one serves himself.
A ruler who is loved is greater than a ruler who is feared.
