Jack Welch, author of The Real Life MBA, via a post on LinkedIn titled Six Secrets to Success at Work

“The thing about failing – because you will fail if you take risks – is that you realize you don’t die. You just pick yourself up and keep going – and how fast you get back on the horse says a lot about you.“

Deepak Chopra, Founder of the chopra Foundation, Via a Linkedin Post Titled Seven Secreats To Leading a Group

“Build trust. All groups need to know that their leader is loyal and supportive. If a leader is just passing through on his way up the ladder, the group responds accordingly. The best leaders take their cohorts with them as they rise to the top.“

Rosabeth Moss Kanter,Harvard Business School professor in a blog post on www.HBR.com

“A sense of humor is an under-rated tool for entrepreneurs, innovators and change agents. Creative leaders unlock ingenuity and build support for change by lightening up. They are willing to consider new possibilities that seem absurd, even ludicrous, at first. They shake up thinking as though shaking a kaleidoscope, allowing surprising new juxtapositions to emerge.“

Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter and CEO of Square, via his Twitter feed @jack

“I appreciate & respect people who depart from their strengths and take on new challenges.“
