Leaderships No Nos

No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it. –Andrew Carnegie

The Best Kind of Leader

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves. –Lao Tzu

Lynn’s Leadership Lessons

The worst anyone can say is “no”

Allow yourself to dream and make those dreams come true

Know what you want and go get it

In some cases it is better to ask for forgiveness than for permission

Be stupid enough to say “yes”
