Quality effective leaders have the confidence to trust others to try, succeed, and sometimes to fail. We very often confuse personality with leadership. In other words, leadership is not about being a nice person or not a nice person.
Simon Sinek
Image
A boss who micromanages is like a coach who wants to get in the game. Leaders guide and support and then sit back to cheer from the sidelines.

Image
To operate based on conviction and belief requires an acceptance that your actions could get you fired. This is different from pig-headed bravado, and it is different from putting the company at risk.
Simon Sinek
Image
Champions are not the ones who always win races - champions are the ones who get out there and try. And try harder the next time. And even harder the next time. 'Champion' is a state of mind. They are devoted. They compete to best themselves as much if not more than they compete to best others. Champions are not just athletes.

Simon Sinek
Image
Selfish is easy. It's sharing that takes courage.

Image
The best ideas are the honest ones. Ones born out of personal experience. Ones that originated to help a few but ended up helping many.

Image
Too many people write books because they want to be a New York Times best-seller. They want the glory and the fame.
Simon Sinek
Image
Purpose does not need to involve calculations or numbers. Purpose is about the quality of life. Purpose is human, not economic.
Simon Sinek
Image
The leader's job is to lead and protect. Not have all the answers, not know everything to do, not to micromanage and tell people what to do or how to do it. A leader's job is to lead and protect. That's their job, and it's the people within the organization - their job is to get the work done.

Leadership is not a rank, it's a choice.
Simon Sinek
Image
Leadership is not achieved by an individual. Leadership is bestowed by the group.
