"People who are too concerned with how well they are doing will be less successful and feel less competent than those who focus on the task itself...

The latter attitude seems the more fruitful." »Unknown

"The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not.

"Anyone who clings to the historically untrue - and thoroughly immoral - doctrine that violence never settles anything I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the duke of Wellington and let them debate it.

Breeds that forgot this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and there freedoms." »Robert Heinlein
