Leadership Development Quotes

“Narcissists say, "Who do you think you are?" Normal people say, "Good on you." Leaders say, "You have so much potential to be even greater than you already are, keep on shining brighter." Narcissists speak from their inferiority complex, normal people speak from good cheer, leaders speak from the love of development and excellence.”

“Organisations often appoint leaders for their IQ. Then, years later, sack them for their lack of EQ (Emotional Intelligence). Common Purpose argues that in the future they will promote for CQ - Cultural Intelligence.”

“You are special individual. Never envy others. You never know what they go through. Seek and be inspired by the works of others. Learn their secrets for success.”

“If you think about it all the successful people you know have 5 things in common: 1) They are focused 2) They are relentless 3) They are resourceful 4) They are flexible 5) They are constantly reinventing themselves - evolving, learning and growing If you think about it all of the unsuccessful people you know have 5 things in common: 1) They are lazy 2) They complain, A LOT 3) They tend to blame everyone else for their situation 4) They are set in their ways 5) They know it all”

“Every posting, message, or email creates an impression, a public persona, from which other people make judgments. We make judgments about others, but how often do we turn that critical analysis on ourselves?”

“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law...Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?” Most Americans adults have heard the Miranda rights from countless television and movie crime drams. The first statement of the Miranda rights is a simple but powerful declarative sentence. “You have the right to remain silent.” Not speaking will not be held against you, but the suspect is told that any words spoken “can and will be used against you in a court of law.” U.S. law provides the opportunity for reflection and protection against self-incrimination with the last sentence asking, “Do you wish to speak to me?” Reflect and ask yourself, it is wise to post or send an email containing that information?”

“An organization's proprietary, internal information is constrained only by an understanding that stake-holders will keep organizational matters within the organization.”

“The written word imparts a gravitas the spoken word lacks. The underlying assumption is that time and thought has been expended on what was written, even if that is not the case.”

“A car crash at seventy-five miles an hour results in glass and steel strewn about the roadway. Emergency workers attend to the injured drivers, passengers and bystanders, and remove the wreckage. An electronic communication wreck lacks the visual drama, but imparts damage just as real and just as permanent. A momentary lapse in judgment may prove catastrophic for the writer, their family, coworkers, and stakeholders.”

“Emails, texts and social media promise the writer the power to be heard…In a society where relinquishing control is viewed as weakness, power is relinquished through every message sent without forethought to the potential consequences.”

“Once a message has been sent electronically, the writer has ceded power not just to the recipient, but to whomever the recipient chooses to forward the information. To access electronic communication is to control it. The recipient, not the writer, has power over future dissemination of the writer’s words.”

“Whether you are the CEO or a frontline manager, you play the same leadership role in creating a well-being culture on your team.”

“To increase the likelihood of creating a well workplace culture, everyone needs to be rowing in the same direction.”

“Happiness, health, and work may exist together. In fact, when they do, it makes for a more resilient organization.”

“Any leader who is serious about supporting their team and any organization that is serious about supporting their workforce need to shape and support a well-being culture.”

“When a vision is inspirational, such as putting a man on the moon, it can unify a team toward a common goal.”

“Healthy workplace cultures don't develop out of luck. A well-being culture in the workplace is the result of an intentional strategy, including the use of culture connection points.”

“Truth be told, nobody thought Dell’s direct business model would work, at least back in the early 90s. As Bill Sharpe, head of the advertising agency that held the Dell Canada account from 1996 to 2006, told me, “I had a business partner in California who said, we have a client, Dell. It sells computers over the phone, and ships them to you. I said, ‘There’s no way, who’s gonna buy a computer over the phone? They’re complicated.”

“A nation with a thousand awakened citizens and a corrupt leader, is much more alive than a nation with an awakened leader and a thousand corrupt citizens.”

“Unless you go out of your comfort zone. Unless you challenge yourself, you cannot grow. Leadership is the art of growing by pushing yourself past your own physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual limits.”
