The month in quotes - Leadership

Leadership... "Leaders with strong egos are driven but humble, confident but receptive to feedback. Leaders with big egos view themselves as bullet-proof and avoid, reject or ignore others' ideas and concerns." - Marcia Zidle, Leaders at All Levels as featured in FitPro Business

Leadership... "Praise is the most common and easy to deliver positive consequence...don't praise every good thing or praise loses its power. But most managers are nowhere near close to praising too much." - Wally Bock as featured in FitPro Business

Leadership... "Howard Gardner in his book Leading Minds calls a leader "an individual who by words and/or personal example significantly influences the thoughts, feelings and/or behaviours of...human beings." Now, more than ever leadership is really the practice of influencing." - Ian Cook as featured in FitPro Business

Leadership... "You may be the leader of a team but you are also a member of a team. Consider playing that role more often and more effectively. One of the best ways you can do that is to talk less...and give others the chance to contribute more." - Kevin Eikenberry, The Kevin Eikenberry Group s feature in FitPro Business magazine
