Personal Statement

Favorite quotes on leadership:

"Few people are likely to thank the leader for stirring anxiety and uncovering conflict.  But leaders who cultivate emotional fortitude soon learn what they can achieve when they maximize their follower's well-being instead of their comfort. " R. Heifetz

"Managers do things right, leaders do the right things."  W. Bennis

"No one yet has figured out how to manage people effectively into battle; they must be led."
J. Kotter
