Leadership
"The most dangerous
leadership myth is that leaders are born -- that there is a genetic
factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have
certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense; in fact, the
opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born." ~ Warren G. Bennis
"Leaders are made, they are
not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of
us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile." ~ Vince Lombardi
"Many people seem to think

areas. But can it really?... True effectiveness requires
balance." ~ Stephen Covey

Team Success
“You need to be aware
of what others are doing, applaud their efforts, acknowledge their
successes, and encourage them in their pursuits. When we all help
one another, everybody wins.” ~ Jim Stovall
"Feelings of worth can
flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are
appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules
are flexible - the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing
family." ~ Virginia Satir
“The way a team plays
as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest
bunch of individual stars in the world; but if they don't play
together, the club won’t be worth a dime.” ~ Babe Ruth
