I try to find, celebrate and teach leaders how to build platforms that will inspire others.
Those who lead inspire us Whether they are individuals or organizations, we follow those who lead not because we have to but because we want to.
If we inspire people, they will give us more than we asked for. If we manipulate them, they will give us exactly what we paid for
A leader must be inspired by the people before a leader can inspire the people.
There are leaders and there are those who lead. Leaders hold a position of power or influence. Those who lead inspire us.
Don't give to get. Give to inspire others to give.
Leaders may inspire, but only when the people decide to act does the leader's vision become a movement.
Hire people inspired to achieve something big over people who demand something big before they feel inspired.
Employees represent an opportunity to inspire not a burden to carry.
The more you inspire, the more people will inspire you.
Words may inspire, but only ACTION creates change. Most of us live our lives by accident - we live life as it happens. Fulfillment comes when we live our lives on purpose.
I don't care about convincing the people who think I'm naive or an idiot. I'm interested in how do I inspire the people who are open-minded that there's a different way of seeing the world.
The true value of a leader is not measured by the work they do. A leader's true value is measured by the work they inspire others to do.
Confidence is believing in yourself. Arrogance is telling others you’re better than they are. Confidence inspires. Arrogance destroys.
