Bennis "Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality." "Excellence is a better teacher than mediocrity. The lessons of the ordinary are everywhere. Truly profound and original insights are to be found only in studying the exemplary." "The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That’s nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born."

But at the core I always say to myself, ‘Is there a story here? Is this something people want to read?’"― Mitch Albom "You can’t be truly rude until you understand good manners."― Rita Mae Brown
