Who'll Be Wherever You Go?

"Followers are more important to leaders than leaders are to followers."

Barbara Kellerman
Lecturer, Public Leadership, Harvard University

Particularly in business, even in tough economic times such as now.

While all bosses have employees, not all have followers.

Do you?

What You Don't Know Won't Hurt You?

"It's what you learn after you know it all that counts."

John Wooden

Basketball Hall of Fame Coach and Player
10 national championships in 12 seasons as UCLA Head Coach

This quote is aimed at those who would miss the irony of the thought. The moment you realize you don't know it all, you've learned something valuable.

Understand?

What Do You Have To Say?

"The art of communication is the language of leadership."

James Humes
Former Trial Lawyer, Author, Presidential Speech Writer

Which is more important?

Great ideas with mediocre ability to communicate them to others, or the reverse?

Regardless of importance, which would you rather have?

Looking for the Inner Self

"Look at the means which a man employs, consider his motives, observe his pleasures. A man simply cannot conceal himself."

Confucius

Can we agree that if Confucius were writing today, this would be gender neutral, meaning, it applies equally well to men and women?

The message is, look hard enough and you will see what a person really is.

It's Up to Each of Us

"At 50, everyone has the face he deserves."

George Orwell

More than just face, by 50 we have just about everything we deserve, assuming we define "deserve" as what we've worked for.

And least you think otherwise, that can and often does include, nothing.

Regardless of your age, what have you worked for?

What will you work for?
