LEADERS ARE PREDICTABLE
FURTHER QUOTATIONS ON
PREDICTABLE LEADERSHIP
- CONSISTENCY:
- The law of the harvest governs; we will always reap what we
sow – no more, no less...^6
- Do not fear...for fear is the enemy within our own walls, more
devastating than any siege weapons outside. Fear causes us to
abandon our strongest weapons, to deviate from our plans and
principles...^7
- DISCIPLINE:
- There is responsibility in privilege. Leaders need to hold
themselves to a stricter discipline than is expected of others.
Those who are first in place must be first in merit...^8
- Integrity is more a matter of the will than of feelings.
Certainly feelings are important, for without feelings we
become mechanical. We are not able to connect with others or
to feel empathy or compassion. Feelings energize us. They are
great implementers but poor leaders. Our will must control
our feelings...^9
- PREPARATION:
- PREPARATION AND MOTIVATION...inspired and properly
prepared...^10
- David’s triumph resulted from preparation and practice. No one
had watched, much less applauded, on those lonely nights when
he fended off mountain lions and drove away the wolves...^11
- HABITS:
- “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act,
but a habit.” - Aristotle...^12
