Leadership

Men make history, and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.
Harry Truman

A leader’s role is to raise people’s aspirations for what they can become and to release their energies so they will try to get there.
David R. Gergen (American journalist and U.S. White House advisor born in 1942)

If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people together to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery quotes (French Pilot, Writer and Author of ‘The Little Prince’, 1900-1944)

And a bonus quote, because I like it…

You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
Eleanor Roosevelt
