“Leadership is the ability to articulate vision and influence others to move towards achievement.”

In today’s challenging economy our global recovery will be achieved through the actions, courage, determination and responsibility of great leaders! Here are a few inspiring quotes on Leadership: 

“Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.” ~ Peter F. Drucker

“A leader must have the courage to act against an expert’s advice.” ~ James Callaghan

“A leader or a man of action in a crisis almost always acts subconsciously and then thinks of the reasons for his action.” ~ Jawaharlal Nehru

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” ~ John Quincy Adams

“It is the responsibility of intellectuals to speak the truth and expose lies.” ~ Noam Chomsky

“I start with the premise that the function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.” ~ Ralph Nader

“South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu walked by a construction site on a temporary sidewalk the width of one person. A white man appeared at the other end, recognized Tutu, and said, “I don’t make way for gorillas.” At which Tutu stepped aside, made a deep sweeping gesture, and said, “Ah, yes, but I do.” ~ Walter Wink 

Current affairs are offering little inspiration these days with the media focused almost solely on the current economic melt down. Few are not directly affected by the severe market downturn and resulting job loses. For many it will be a test of perseverance unlike any they have ever known. Throughout this test of time, it is imperative to focus on the positive. Inspiration and motivation are critical elements to success.

“The future depends on what we do in the present.” - Mahatma Gandhi
