Leadership Quotations
Compiled for you by George Torok
| One man that has a mind and knows it can always beat ten men who haven’t and don’t. George Bernard Shaw, “The Apple Cart” (1930), act I All great truths begin as blasphemies. When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty. The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.
When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative. Be a first rate version of yourself, not a second rate version of someone else. Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed. Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest. Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear – not absence of fear. The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man. A real leader faces the music, even when he doesn’t like the tune. |
