"One of the first assignments I give my lieutenants is to have them go down to the motor pool and stand in front of a tank. I then tell them to yell out, “Right face!” Of course, the tank doesn’t move.
I don’t care how fancy or sophisticated your equipment or systems are, if you don’t have motivated people to operate it, then it doesn’t really matter.
Leadership isn’t about systems; it’s about people."
Norman Schwarzkopf, U.S Army
"A leader is best When people barely know that he Exists Not so good when people obey and Acclaim him, Worst of all when they despise him. “Fail to honor people, They fail to honor you.” But of a good leader, who talks little, When his work is done, his aim Fulfilled, They will all say, 'We did this Ourselves'"
Lao-tzu
"Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other."
John F. Kennedy
