Pride, anger and hatred are fruits from the same garden that poison the world when ripe. A leader cultivates no such fruits.
~ Israelmore Ayivor
Leaders build the future with clays of the past. Every good moment gives them ideas, every bad moment gives them lessons.
Courage promotes leaders, fear demotes them. Most people who have difficulties climbing up success ladders are fans of fear.
Every great leader once fell down from a tall ladder. You don't become a star until you get the scar. Take that risk now.
Words do less than 10 things, but actions do more than 10 thousand things. Leaders don’t talk in vain; they follow with actions.
Greed squeezes your dreams into a portable size, so that failure can easily carry them to dump somewhere.
Many self-leaders lead the world even by being invisible. The world learns from them without sitting in their classrooms.
Leaders find something to die for, not something to live on. If you haven't found something to die for yet, you can't lead.
Environment has its own ways of limiting us tightly. But leaders have their own ways of escaping those limitations narrowly.
Leaders don't pray to God for money. They simply ask for His grace to solve problems. By solving problems, the money comes.
Your relationships will either empower you to overcome obstacles, or put fears in you so you can run away from them.
The desire to swim in deeper waters is what gives a greater experience. Nothing new comes out of being ordinary. Leaders take risks.
What happens when a leader misses his steps on the ladder is what happens when a train misses the rail. Be on track.
Until you do your best, don't try to take a rest. Until you take a leap, don't try to sleep. Until you top, don't try to stop.
Leaders are solutions conscious. They don’t complain. You would find them repeating this common question; “how will it be done, and by who?
Leaders inform, inspire and improve people. They educate, empower and enrich the value of their followers. They make impacts.
Leaders do not chase comfort, they pursue vision even if it comes with risks. Don’t give up too early because you see not early rewards.
A leader in 10 minutes can unlock your potentials which in reality would have taken you 10 years to do without them.
Leaders don't cry for what country can do for them for free. They dream about what they can do for country at high cost.
Why ships won't use roads, is why cars won't travel on oceans. When the position is wrong, the leader won't be right.
Leaders gather scattered people with the positive influence of intimacy while misleaders scatter gathered people with the negative influence of intimidation.
The skills of a leader will determine how excellent he will perform. His attitude will determine how often he will do that.
A leader’s attitude tells how often he will be the winner, his character determines how long he will be the winner.
A leader isn't born after 9 months' conception. When talents are discovered, skills are mastered & values are developed, a leader is born.
If you see a leader solving one conflict wisely, remember he is working hard to prevent 10 of such from happening!
One of the greatest secrets of great leaders, 'they are not controlled by what they cannot do'. They directed by what they can.
If you want to be a leader, don't stand on the toes of dwarfs. Mount the shoulders of giants and you will see further.
Almost everything a leader fails to achieve is anything he fails to try. What is not attempted is what is difficult to do.
To become a leader, renovate your mind with painting of peace and roof your heart with ceiling of love. No love, no leader!
Teamwork is the best ever investment. If I make 3 and you make 5, together we will not make 8. We will make 15. Leaders build active teams.
It’s is good you are about something. But wait and ask, “why and how?”. Without “whys and hows”, not every energetic movement can be called progress.
Leaders walk their talks. They don’t give theories that do not work. They have clarity into their dreams and insight into their directions!
Leaders don't fall in gutters of fear; only negative ideas flow in that canal. There, you will see filthy things like doubts and disbelief.
Teamwork is the best ever investment. If I make 3 and you make 5, together we will not make 8. We will make 15. Leaders build active teams!
True leaders spend time reviewing their mistakes rather than having fantasies over their achievements! They look for every way to do the undone!
Leadership crisis erupt when people who have not learnt how to obey instructions are given the privilege to give commands. Leaders are experienced servants.
When manipulation flutters around everywhere, neither pull nor push anyone. Just do one thing - don't trust anyone!
~ Ashish Patel
The counsellor who never reads a novel or never opens a book of poetry is neglecting an important resource for empathic development.
~ Dave Mearns
Literature provides a person with a conceptual framework for recognizing human beings recurrent challenges in life. Reading good literature deepens a person’s understanding of the variable ways that somebody might respond to circumstances in their world, thereby adding to their own potential intellectual and spiritual depth and expands their understanding of the nuances of their own personal behavior.

A man who reads will find himself.
