Quotes On Leadership

" Leadership is not about being in charge. It is about taking care of those in your charge." - Simon Sinek This statement by Simon Sinek serves as a potent reminder that leadership is about caring for and assisting the people who are under our charge rather than exercising authority or control over them.

A sincerely given word of praise or recognition can make someone feel wanted and appreciated more than any salary raise or extra benefit ever could.
