true leaders..for them, the glass is not half full, it's brimming. they believe.
Emerson used to greet old friends: "what's become clear to you since we last met?" "hard times in which genius would wish 2live.great necessities call forth great leaders"-TJ rise to the challenge of your era. never have so many labored so long to say so little. if you want to manage somebody, manage yourself. good ideas must be driven into practice. hard 2imagine any organization w/o some semblance of trust. implies accountability leadership is heading into the wind w such knowledge of oneself. k where 1's taking self nothing in world takes place of persistence.talent, genius; edu.. world is full of derelicts. positioning: clarity, constancy, reliability. thru establishing position, leadership est trust. Chinese prov: if we don't change our direction, we're likely to end up where we're headed. "we're like humans used to be before they became too civilized to enjoy themselves." my intention always has been 2arrive @human contact w/o enforcing authority-carlo m.g "iatrogenic":illness caused by docs/hospital;side effects of med intervention (managers). Irwin federman: our indie potential =direct derivative of our self esteem. leaders retain positive characteristics of children: enthusiasm for ppl, spontaneity, imagination, unlimited capacity to learn new behavior. emotional wisdom. being on the tightrope is living, everything else is waiting. -karl wallenda, 1968 study the way they respond to failure. a mistake is just another way of doing things. fletcher Byrom: idk what a hard decision is. I may be strange, but I don't worry.. criticism is frequent by product of significant actions. tests foundation of positive regard Robert frost poem: "where love &need are met" -early on, he had sense of what might be bots blindly following instruction versus humans engaged in creative &purposeful venture therefore, the leader must be a superb listener. "management of meaning" leaders are only as powerful as the ideas they can communicate. absorb conflict we are all afraid; this is the nature of human imagination (lol). -the ascent of man, 1973 hard it is 2learn mind of any mortal /heart, til he b tried in authority.power shows the man leaders have significant role in creating state o' mind that is society.worth our best effort (William) "hewitt made us learn how good we were." our present crisis calls out 4leadership @every level of society."I wasn't good, I was great"

if you can keep your head , when all about you are losing theirs &blaming.. trust yourself when all men doubt, but make allowance for their doubting too; if you can wait ¬ be tired of waiting, or being lied about, don't deal in lies, or being hated, don't give way to hating, &yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise. if you can dream -¬ make dreams your master; think -¬ make thoughts your aim; if you can meet w Triumph &Diaster, &treat those 2 imposters just the same; if you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap fro fools, or watch the things you gave your life to, broken. &stoop &build em up w worn -out tools. if you can make 1 heap of all your winnings &risk it on 1 turn of pitch &toss, &lose, &start again at your beginnings, &never breathe a word about your loss.. if you can talk w crowds &keep your virtue, or walk w Kings -nor lose the common touch, if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you. if all men count w you, but none too much.. Yours is the Earth &everything that's in it, &-which is more -you'll be a Man, my son!

nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. persistence &determination alone are omnipotent. -calvin coolidge i am not an extraordinary man, &i am quite ordinary. but God chose me for something quite extraordinary. -a. valladares receives '16 canterbury medal.
not failure, but low aim, is crime -james russell lowell
a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus -mlk jr. (you are all leaders .#experts) it is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust &sweat &blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again &again because there is no effort without error &shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worth cause; who at the best knows in the end the trump of high achievement, &who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold &timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. -theodore roosevelt
