“Our sense of identity is in large measure conferred on us by others in the ways they treat or mistreat us, recognize or ignore us, praise us or punish us. Some people make us timid and shy; others elicit our sex appeal and dominance. In some groups we are made leaders, while in others we are reduced to being followers. We come to live up to or down to the expectations others have of us.” PeopleWayMadeSexLeaderGroupsIdentityExpectationsTreatsPraiseAppealsShyFollowersDominanceSex AppealMistreat Book:The Lucifer Effect: How Good People Turn Evil Source: The Lucifer Effect: How Good People Turn Evil

“Not only were the Jews expecting the birth of a Great King, a Wise Man and a Saviour, but Plato and Socrates also spoke of the Logos and of the Universal Wise Man 'yet to come'. Confucius spoke of 'the Saint'; the Sibyls, of a 'Universal King'; the Greek dramatist, of a saviour and redeemer to unloose man from the 'primal eldest curse'. All these were on the Gentile side of the expectation. What separates Christ from all men is that first He was expected; even the Gentiles had a longing for a deliverer, or redeemer. This fact alone distinguishes Him from all other religious leaders.” MenFirstsFactsSidesChristReligiousLeaderWiseBirthKingsExpectationsUniversalLongingSaintJewExpectedGreekCurseSpokesExpectingPlatoSaviourPrimalRedeemerLogosGentilesReligious LeadersEldestPlato And Socrates Author:Fulton J.

“As leaders, we're giving out grades in every encounter we have with people. We can choose to give out grades as an expectation to live up to, and then we can reassess them according to performance. Or we can offer grades as a possibility to live into. The second approach is much more powerful.” PeopleGivingPowerfulLeaderPossibilityOffersApproachExpectationsPerformancesEncountersGrades Author:Benjamin Zander
“Great leaders do not see people for who they are, but who than can become. Further, the great leader compels those that follow them to become that man or woman of the future, likely exceeding the expectations of both.” PeopleMenLeaderExpectationsGreat Leader Author:Chris Alexander
