Sandwich every bit of criticism between two thick layers of praise.
Mary Kay Ash -

It was when I entered the military preparatory school and put on its uniform, that a feeling of strength came to me, as if I had become master of my own destiny.
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk -

The art of leadership is saying no, not yes. It is very easy to say yes.
Tony Blair -

Sometimes it is better to lose and do the right thing than to win and do the wrong thing.
Tony Blair -

In the past a leader was a boss. Today’s leaders must be partners with their people.. they no longer can lead solely based on positional power.
Ken Blanchard -

Too many leaders act as if the sheep.. their people.. are there for the benefit of the shepherd, not that the shepherd has responsibility for the sheep.
Ken Blanchard -

Many business leaders today view their jobs as entailing responsibility for the welfare of the wider community. These individuals do not define themselves as profit-making machines whose only reason for existing is to satisfy escalating expectation for immediate gain.
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

Executives owe it to the organization and to their fellow workers not to tolerate nonperforming individuals in important jobs.
Peter Drucker -

Checking the results of a decision against its expectations shows executives what their strengths are, where they need to improve, and where they lack knowledge or information.
Peter Drucker

Some of the best business and nonprofit CEOs I've worked with over a sixty-five-year consulting career were not stereotypical leaders. They were all over the map in terms of their personalities, attitudes, values, strengths, and weaknesses.
Peter Drucker

It's fascinating as we continue to innovate and lead the way in both the application space and the database space. In the very beginning, people said you couldn't make relational databases fast enough to be commercially viable. I thought we could, and we were the first to do it. But we took tremendous abuse until IBM said, "Oh yeah, this stuff is good."
Larry Ellison -

Leaders need to be optimists. Their vision is beyond the present.
Rudy Giuliani -

There are many qualities that make a great leader. But having strong beliefs, being able to stick with them through popular and unpopular times, is the most important characteristic of a great leader.
Rudy Giulian

Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it.
Rudy Giuliani -

The man who occupies the first place seldom plays the principal part.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe -

The company was quite hierarchical. I often think it was like a pyramid with Robert (husband Robert Holmes à Court) at the top and lots of us paying homage to him. I try to turn the pyramid upside down so that I'm at the bottom and bubbling away and encouraging people and energising them so that they are all empowered so that they can do what they need to do, now that's the dream.
Janet Holmes a Court -

I'm not a banner. I am an encourager and a persuader and an advocate.
John Howard -

A great company in the media business needs visionary leaders, not a conglomerate structure headquartered in Columbus Circle that second guesses.
