Eliot The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves. - Ray Kroc Delegating work works, provided the one delegating works, too. - Robert Half You must do the thing you think you cannot do. - Eleanor Roosevelt Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions. - Harold Geneen The real leader has no need to lead—he is content to point the way. - Henry Miller The formulation of a public relations strategy properly begins with listening, not talking. - Leonard Saffir Remain calm, patient and good-humored. - Arthur Page Ethics is in origin the art of recommending to others the sacrifices required for cooperation with oneself. - Bertrand Russell The caterpillar does all the work but the butterfly gets all the publicity. - George Carlin In crisis management, be quick with the facts, slow with the blame. - Leonard Saffir I am easily satisfied with the very best. - Winston Churchill Ethics is a code of values which guide our choices and actions and determine the purpose and course of our lives. - Ayn Rand I believe in telling your story to the public. - Ivy Lee Leadership has a harder job to do than just choose sides. It must bring sides together. - Jesse Jackson The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been. - Henry Kissinger A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. - Winston Churchill The leader has to be practical and a realist, yet must talk the language of the visionary and the idealist. - Eric Hoffer The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. - Max DePree Action indeed is the sole medium of expression for ethics. - Jane Addams
