The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.

       - Anne Frank

Leadership is … ATTITUDE

There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference.  That little difference is attitude.  The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.  ~ W. Clement Stone

Ability is what you’re capable of doing.  Motivation determines what you do.  Attitude determines how well you do it.

                        ~ Lou Holtz

It is your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude.  ~ Zig Ziglar

The following quote does not fit with the attitude topic – but is a great leadership quote.  I received this quote from a very good friend of mine last week and wanted to share it with all of you.

“Give your workers more sophisticated jobs along with better tools, and you’ll discover your employees will become more responsible and bring more intelligence to their work.  ~ Bill Gates

Leadership is … AUTHORITY

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.

                        ~ Abraham Lincoln

You do not lead by hitting people over the head – that’s assault, not leadership.

                        ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower

Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.

                        ~ Margaret Thatcher

A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, and a little less than his share of the credit.

                        ~ Arnold H. Glasgow

Leadership is … DETERMINATION

You’ve got to get up every morning with determination if you’re going to go to bed with satisfaction.

                        ~ George Lorimer

A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done.

                        ~ Ralph Lauren

If you want to be comfortable, take an easy job. If you aspire to leadership, take off your coat.

                        ~ Unknown

Of all the things a leader should fear, complacency heads the list.

                        ~ John C. Maxwell

Good enough never is.  ~ Debbi Fields

Leadership is … EMPATHY

Successful leaders lead with the heart, not just the head. They possess qualities like empathy, compassion, and courage.

                        ~ Bill George

The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy.

                        ~ Meryl Streep

You never really understand a person until you consider things from their point of view – until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.

                        ~ Atticus Finch

I believe that we all do the best we can in every situation.  Understanding this, it helps me look with compassion on others, especially when I think they’re screwing up.

                        ~ John Woods

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure...than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

       - Theodore Roosevelt

Early in my career I learned a lot from Debbie Fields:

Good enough never is.

How you feel is a direct result of how you fuel.

     --Okay I made that up myself

                    -Colin Daymude

 Its better to be a cat's face rather than a lion's ass

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
