He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.” ― Ronald Reagan “Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.” ― Dwight D. Eisenhower “Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.” ― John C. Maxwell “There is a difference between being a leader and being a boss. Both are based on authority. A boss demands blind obedience; a leader earns his authority through understanding and trust.” ― Klaus Balkenhol "Leadership is not just a position, it is an action that produces results" - Teddy Roosevelt HAVE A GREAT YEAR!
