Inspiring Quotes

These are some of my favorite personal leadership quotes:

"Personal leadership is not a singular experience. It is, rather, the ongoing process of keeping your vision and values before you and aligning your life to be congruent with those most important things."
Stephen Covey

"I consider my ability to arouse enthusiasm among men the greatest asset I possess. The way to develop the best that is in a man is by appreciation and encouragement."
Charles Schwab

"Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions."
Harold S. Geneen

"I am personally convinced that one person can be a change catalyst, a "transformer" in any situation, any organization. Such an individual is yeast that can leaven an entire loaf. It requires vision, initiative, patience, respect, persistence, courage, and faith to be a transforming leader."
Stephen R. Covey

"The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going."
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
