‘Leaders should not

be easily provoked.’ St Paul

‘The test of leadership is not to put

greatness into humanity but to elicit it, for

the greatness is there already.’

John Buchan

‘He that gives good advice builds with one hand. He

that gives good counsel and example builds with both.

But he that gives good admonition and bad example,

builds with one hand and pulls down with the other.’

Francis Bacon

‘It is almost true to say that leaders are ‘made’ – rather

than born.’ Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery

‘A good leader must be tough enough to win a fight, but not

tough enough to kick a man when he is down.’

W G Bennis and E H Schein
