Quotations

Leadership and Success

People will only conserve what they love, they will only love what they understand, they will understand only what they are taught.

A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. They are much like eagles...They don't flock, you find them one at a time. --Mac Anderson

A growth stragegy is the best path toward continual innovation. --Noel Tichy (Leadership Tip of the Day)

The hallmark of courage in our age of conformity is the capacity to stand on one's own convictions--not obstinately or defiantly (these are gestures of defensiveness, not courage) nor as a gesture of retaliation, but simply because these are what one believes. --Rollo May

All leaders should be accountable for diversity. - Roxanne Spillet Leader to Leader Institute

Don't tell me where your priorities are. show me where you spend your money and I'll tell you what they are. - James W. Frick

"A compromise can posses integrity provided that it meets a fairly simple test: it must move you toward your goal rather than away from it."

No government ought to be without censors & where the press is free, no one ever will. --Thomas Jefferson

Let us not be content to wait and see what happens, but give us the determination to make the right things happen. --Peter Marshall

The power of one man or one woman doing the right things for the right reason, and at the right time, is the greatest influence in our society. -Jack Kemp

Values are critical guides for making decisions. When in doubt, they cut through the fog like a beacon. Mac Anderson

"You cannot run a community if you're not informed. Journalism is really the act of informing communities so that they can make better decisions, that is part of the public service, informing communities so that together we can know where else we need to help."

--David Cohn, Founder, Spot.us

Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. - William Penn

Place is often something you don't see because you're so familiar with it that you devalue it or dismiss it or ignore it. But in fact it is the information your reader most wants to know. --Dorothy Allison, "Place" (p 7) The Writer's Notebook

To know what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice.- Confucius

...actually living the 'do right rule' is tough because t requires discipline, commitment and courage. - David Cottrell, (p49) Monday Morning Leadership
