The John Adair Handbook of Management and Leadership

‘A new idea is delicate.

It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn:

it can be stabbed to death by a quip

and worried to death by a frown

on the right man’s brow.’ Charles Brower

‘

God

HIDES THINGS FROM US BY PUTTING THEM CLOSE TO US’

Old saying

‘Criticism often takes

from the tree caterpillars

and blossoms together.’

Old saying

Don’t be afraid of taking a big step – you

cannot cross a chasm in two steps.’

David Lloyd-George
