About leadership

‘Leadership is not magnetic personality- that can just as well be a glib tongue.
It is not ‘making friends and influencing people’- that is flattery.
Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to higher things, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.’
Peter F. Druker, author and management theorist.

‘We all work together as a team. And that means you do everything I say.’
Michael Caine, British film actor (in the film The Italian job).

‘How shall I talk of the sea to a frog,
If it has never left his pond?
How shall I talk of the frost to the bird of the summerland,
If it has never left the land of his birth?
How shall I talk of life with the sage,
If he is prisoner of his doctrine?’
Chung Tsu, 4th Century B.C.
