The highest of distinctions is service to others. King George VI
Don’t forget to do something for other people. Marc Benioff
One of the quickest ways to gain someone’s trust is to help that person. Justin Bariso
You’ve got to help others. Don’t just think about yourself. Help others. Arnold Schwarzenegger
The leaders who get the most out of their people are the leaders who care most about their people. Simon Sinek
Help your people grow and perform at their highest possible levels. Robert K. Greenleaf
Growing people and helping them to perform at high levels
is a key strategy for long-term success. When employees grow, their
productive capacity increases. When their productive capacity increases,
the capacity of the organization increases–it can do things better, or
it can do things it was not able to do before. Kent M. Keith
The servant-leader is servant first. It begins with the
natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious
choice brings one to aspire to lead. Robert K. Greenleaf
It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed. Napoleon Hill
If you want to lead on the highest level, be willing to serve on the lowest. John C. Maxwell
Above all, leadership is a position of servanthood. Max De Pree
The first responsibility of a leader is to define
reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a
servant. Max De Pree
The leader is the servant who removes the obstacles that prevent people from doing their jobs. Max De Pree
He who cannot be a good follower cannot be a good leader. Aristotle
We cannot ask others to do what we have not done ourselves. Christiana Figueres
Servant leadership pumps up the team with confidence, which leads to high-performance. Marcel Schwantes
When you’ve worked hard, and done well, and walked
through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you.
You reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped
you succeed. Michelle Obama
I think leadership is service and there is power in that
giving: to help people, to inspire and motivate them to reach their
fullest potential. Denise Morrison
Employees of servant leaders are more helping and
creative than those working with leaders who scored lower on servant
leadership. Marcel Schwantes
You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too. Sam Rayburn
Shine your light and make a positive impact on the world;
there is nothing so honorable as helping improve the lives of others.
Roy T. Bennett
No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helped you. Althea Gibson
The essence of strategy is choosing what not to do. Michael Porter
The time is always right to do what is right. Martin Luther King Jr
Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out. Stephen R. Covey
The term ‘power’ comes from the Latin posse: to do, to be
able, to change, to influence or effect. To have power is to possess
the capacity to control or direct change. All forms of leadership must
make use of power. The central issue of power in leadership is not Will
it be used? But rather Will it be used wisely and well? Al Gini
Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest. Mark Twain
Effectiveness is a habit. Peter F. Drucker
Effective executives do not make a great many decisions. They concentrate on what is important. Peter F. Drucker
Effective executives […] try to find the constants in a
situation, to think through what is strategic and generic rather than to
‘solve problems’. Peter F. Drucker
Effective executives […] want impact rather than technique. And they want to be sound rather than clever. Peter F. Drucker
Effective executives do not start out with their tasks.
They start out with their time. And they do not start out with planning.
They start by finding out where their time actually goes. Peter F.
Drucker
All one has to do is to learn to say “no” if an activity
contributes nothing to one’s own organization, to oneself, or to the
organization for whom it is to be performed. Peter F. Drucker
It is more productive to convert an opportunity into
results than to solve a problem – which only restores the equilibrium of
yesterday. Peter F. Drucker
Above all, effective executives treat change as an
opportunity rather than a threat. They systematically look at changes,
inside and outside the corporation, and ask, “How can we exploit this
change as an opportunity for our enterprise?”. Peter F. Drucker
What we need is a way to identify the areas of
effectiveness (of possible significant results), and a method for
concentrating on them. Peter F. Drucker
What is the manager’s job? It is to direct the resources
and the efforts of the business toward opportunities for economically
significant results. Peter F. Drucker
Effective executives put their best people on opportunities rather than on problems. Peter F. Drucker
Every analysis of actual allocation of resources and
efforts in business that I have ever seen or made showed clearly that
the bulk of time, work, attention, and money first goes to problems
rather than to opportunities, and, secondly, to areas where even
extraordinarily successful performance will have minimal impact on
results. Peter F. Drucker
An executive who makes many decisions is both lazy and ineffectual. Peter F. Drucker
Time is the scarcest resource, and unless it is managed, nothing else can be managed. Peter F. Drucker
I have never encountered an executive who remains effective while tackling more than two tasks at a time. Peter F. Drucker
Problem solving, however necessary, does not produce
results. It prevents damage. Exploiting opportunities produces results.
Peter F. Drucker
The focus on contribution is the key to effectiveness. Peter F. Drucker
The knowledge worker cannot be supervised closely or in
detail. He can only be helped. But he must direct himself, and he must
direct himself toward performance and contribution, that is, toward
effectiveness. Peter F. Drucker
The focus on contribution by itself supplies the four
basic requirements of effective human relations: communications;
teamwork; self-development; and development of others. Peter F. Drucker
Effective executives do first things first and they do one thing at a time. Peter F. Drucker
There seems to be little correlation between a man’s
effectiveness and his intelligence, his imagination or his knowledge.
Peter F. Drucker
Working on the right things is what makes knowledge work effective. Peter F. Drucker
Effective executives do not race. They set an easy pace but keep going steadily. Peter F. Drucker
The less an organization has to do to produce results, the better it does its job. Peter F. Drucker
To be effective every knowledge worker, and especially
every executive, therefore needs to be able to dispose of time in fairly
large chunks. To have small dribs and drabs of time at his disposal
will not be sufficient even if the total is an impressive number of
hours. Peter F. Drucker
Without an action plan, the executive becomes a prisoner
of events. And without check-ins to reexamine the plan as events unfold,
the executive has no way of knowing which events really matter and
which are only noise. Peter F. Drucker
The people who get nothing done often work a great deal
harder. In the first place, they underestimate the time for any one
task. They always expect that everything will go right. Yet, as every
executive knows, nothing ever goes right. The unexpected always
happens—the unexpected is indeed the only thing one can confidently
expect. Peter F. Drucker
“Is this still worth doing?” And if it isn’t, he gets rid
of it so as to be able to concentrate on the few tasks that, if done
with excellence, will really make a difference in the results of his own
job and in the performance of his organization. Peter F. Drucker
If there is any one “secret” of effectiveness, it is concentration. Peter F. Drucker
Nine tenths of education is encouragement. Anatole France
To teach is to learn twice. Joseph Joubert
Responsibility educates. Wendell Phillips
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance. Andy McIntyre
The world exists for the education of each man. Benjamin Disraeli
Success is a poor teacher. Robert Kiyosaki
There is no education like adversity. Benjamin Disraeli
Learning is not compulsory… neither is survival. W. Edwards Deming
When you learn, teach. When you get, give. Maya Angelou
There is no failure. Only feedback. Robert Allen
