    stop bringing you their problems... They have
    either lost confidence that you can help or
    concluded you do not care. Either case is a
    failure of leadership. Colin Powell

    it means getting along with people. Mahatma

Leadership
  • Simon Sinek It's not what you do. It's not
    how you do it. It is why you do it. If
    people believe you and share the belief, they
    will do it for themselves, they won't need to do
    it for you.e.g. MLK I have a dream... not a
    plan.
