"Understanding our strengths, articulating our values, knowing..." - Quote by Peter Drucker

“As soon as you move one step up from the bottom, your effectiveness depends on your ability to reach others through the spoken and written word.”

“Plans are worthless, but planning is invaluable.”

“The three most charismatic leaders in this century inflicted more suffering on the human race than almost any trio in history: Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. What matters is not the leader's charisma. What matters is the leader's mission.”

“Everything in the world displeases me: but, above all, my displeasure in everything displeases me.”

“You had measured how long a fool you were upon the ground.”

“The biggest difference between L.A. and Edmonton was that instead of people looking at me I was looking at them.”

“Many times our weaknesses are extensions of our strengths.”

“Leaders should get out of their comfort zone but stay in their strength zone. When their work lies within their natural gifting and strengths, leaders experience the greatest return in productivity and contentment. Life is too short to live in the comfort zone, where growing and accomplishing and achieving your potential takes a back seat. I suggest you refocus if the comfort zone is your leadership priority.”

“The job of a professional manager is not to like people. It is not to change people. It is to put their strengths to work.”
