Quotes on Leadership : Recognition and Praise

"The two things that people want more than sex or money are recognition and praise.” – Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics Whilst I'm not sure that there is anything that people want more than sex or money if there is anything I'm sure recognition and praise would be top of the list!

Quotes on Leadership : Lead By Example

Example is not the main thing in influencing others, it is the only thing. Albert Schweitzer A leader can shape his followers best by showing them the way forward rather than telling them  about it. If you want to show your team how important serving your clients is make sure that they can see  you taking it seriously and going the extra mile.  If they can see that you are committed they are more likely to follow your example. To paraphrase Gandhi if you want to make a change be the best example of that change and others  will follow.
