You will never fulfill your destiny doing work you despise.

Leaders touch a heart before they ask for a hand.

Time management is an oxymoron. Time is beyond our control, and the clock keeps ticking regardless of how we lead our lives. Priority management is the answer to maximizing the time we have.

A word of encouragement from a teacher to a child can change a life. A word of encouragement from a spouse can save a marriage. A word of encouragement from a leader can inspire a person to reach her potential.

No matter what field a leader is in, he will face problems. They are inevitable for three reasons; first, we live in a world of growing complexity and diversity; second, we interact with people; and third, we cannot control all the situation we face.
