good leadership quote

June 30, 2006 in bloglinks, community influence, quotes, spirituality

Fellow voxer, GaryM, passes on a great quote…..

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather the wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.�

—Antoine de Saint Exupery

I think it applies to all levels of leadership, but definitely to large group leadership. Not that you don’t need organization and structure, but they will never replace clear communication of a compelling vision.

 It reminds me of something I heard Erwin McManus say one time - that it’s more important to change what people care about than what they believe.

 Anyone care to share some favorite leadership-type quotes?
