LEADERSHIP

LEADERSHIP

THOUGHTS

"The task of leadership is

not to put greatness in humanity, but to elicit it, for

the greatness is already

there."----

~John Buchan~

"You know what makes leadership? It is the ability to get men to do

what they don't want to do and like it."

~Harry S. Truman~
"First organize the inner, then organize the outer ... First organize the great, then organize the small. First organize yourself, then organize others."

~Zhuge Liang~

"Not the cry, but the flight of the wild duck, leads the flock to fly and follow."
~Chinese Saying~

"A true leader has to have a genuine open-door policy so that his people are not

afraid to approach him for any reason."
~Harold Geneen~
"The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers."
~Ralph Nader

Leadership consists not in degrees of technique but in traits of character; it requires moral rather than athletic or

intellectual effort, and it imposes on both leader and follower alike the burdens of self-restraint."~Lewis H. Lapham~

Four rules of leadership in a free legislative body:First, no

matter how hard-fought the issue, never get personal. Don't say or do anything that may come back to haunt you on

another issue, another day....Second, do your home

work. You can't lead without knowing what you're talking about....Third, the American legislative

process is one of give and take. Use your power as a leader to persuade, not

intimidate....Fourth, be

considerate of the needs of your colleagues, even if they're at the bottom of the totem pole...."— George Bush

"The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Our is a

world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war that we know

about peace, more about killing that we know about living" - General Omar Nelson Bradley

"I would rather regret the things I have done than the things I have not"

-Lucille Ball

"True statesmanship is the art of changing a nation from

what it is into what it ought to be " - William R. Alger

"I think leadership comes

from integrity - that you do whatever you ask others to do. I think there are no

n-obvious ways to lead. Just by providing a good example as a parent, a friend, a

neighbor makes it possible for other people to see better ways to do things.

Leadership does not need to be a dramatic, fist in the air and trumpets blaring, activity."—

Scott Berkun

"A first-rate organizer is never in a hurry. He is never la

te. He always keeps up his sleeve a margin for the unexpected" –

Arnold Bennett

"Change in all things is sweet" - Aristotle

"Dissatisfaction and discouragement are not caused by the absence of

things but the absence of vision" - Anonymous

incompetent chieftain is removed, seldom do we appoint his

highest-ranking subordinate to his place" - Attila the Hun

effective, you have never been in the dark with a mosquito" - Anonymous

Various following questions asked by fellows.

Like this so many questions asked by fellows and he answered very effectively. He also emphasis more on following points,

·        Whatever work you do, do it for your satisfaction and for other satisfaction.

·        Marketing process should have pull and push system.

·        Social enterprise should have strong social cause.

·        Presently MIL is in good position in market.

·        Do entrepreneurship not for your shake, do it for a cause and this should involve interests of people and country.

·        Don’t depend on spoon feeding (Don’t depend on DCSE much)

·        Whatever you got from society give back something to society.
