“There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.”
~ Niccolo Machiavelli
“Leadership takes many forms and has many common attributes: kindness, sincerity and a never give up attitude, just to name a few. They truly realize that the people they serve, (their internal and external customers), are their most valuable assets.”
~ Marlene Blaszczyk
“Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.”
~ Jack Welch
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
~ John Quincy Adams
Leadership, in a changing world, is the critical importance of doing the right thing for the greater good while creating something new. Something new with an inspiring vision, a realistic direction, a defined path and an optimistic win for the future. Leading the way with inclusivity, kindness and ambition is the spirit of shared leadership. Leadership for positive, proactive outcomes succeeds by coaching and building a team that inspires a new future. Leadership in these moments is to embrace new ways in different times.
“An authentic leader creates the space for the shared leadership of others. Together we are stronger. Together we can make a difference.”
~ David Barnes, Barnes Management Group
