developing cre8ng communities in the workplace

Quotations Can Inspire

Throughout much of my life quotations have helped to inspire me. Over the past 25 years I have used quotations in my writing, speeches and workshops to help make points and hopefully inspire participants striving to learn more about creative thinking, leading, communicating and teaming.

Here are some I found today on the website and shared through an email.

What are some of your favorite quotations?

Be cautious that those wonderful, short, concise quotes are not out of context such as

Will Rogers is reported to have said

"I never met a man I didn't like."

What he actually said was...

"I never met a man I didn't like, until he opened his mouth."

here are a sample of quotes to think about

Beginning with this week I will begin the same exercise through the DEVELOPING
CRE8NG
COMMUNITIES Yahoo.com group. Each week I will send out quotes on the primary
topics
involved in Developing Cre8ng Communities:

Leading, Communicating, Teaming, Cre8ng

My suggestion to you is that you take a few minutes each day to think about the
specific
quote and ask yourself…

What do I think about this quote?
Do my life experiences and education agree and support it?
How might applying the wisdom behind it help me grow into a more PRODUCTIVE
LEADER?

Monday
Leaders grow; they are not made.
Peter F. Drucker

Tuesday
The only test of leadership is that somebody follows.

Wednesday
Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the
heart.
Leadership is about inspiration—of oneself and of others.
Lance Secretan, Industry Week, 10/12/98


Thursday
Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes.
Lance Secretan, Industry Week, 10/12/98

Friday
Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from
the heart
and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine.
Lance Secretan, Industry Week, 10/12/98
