“The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say, ‘The children are now working as if I did not exist.’ But this holds true for leadership in general—give people space and they flourish.” — Maria Montessori
“Great leaders create more leaders, not followers. Great leaders have vision, share vision, and inspire others to create their own.” — Roy T. Bennett
A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.” — Islwyn Jeneins

“The bad leader is he who the people despise; the good leader is he who the people praise; the great leader is he who the people say, ‘We did it ourselves.‘”

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” — Simon Sinek
Leadership is seeing the greatness in others before they see it in themselves.
When you find yourself in a situation where everyone looks at each other, it’s time for you to lead the way.

Leading from Any Chair
- We all have the opportunity to make an impact, even when we’re not standing at the front. When you choose to step up, you may discover that that leadership is more complex than it appears and develop greater empathy for those in leadership roles. Learn to lead by constantly asking yourself, “What would I say should I suddenly be called upon to lead?”
幹活/工作 v.s 使命/夢想 の 寓言故事
- 砌磚工人 (The Three Bricklayers Story)
- 造船工人
- If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach/inspire them to yearn for the vast and endless sea. Audacious ideas motivate people.
- You should not build something just for the sake of building. You should build something because it will help you to fulfill a dream, in this case, going to sea.
The CORE Principle by Sir David Brailsford, used in British cycling team (TeamGB) and Team Sky
- Commitment
- Ownership
- Responsibility
- Excellence
True Leadership is Service-Oriented
Think of a great leader like a captain of a ship: they make sure everyone is safe and settled before they themselves rest.
“I can afford to wait, because I trust myself and my tribe.”
Insecure leaders rush to take first, fearing there’s not enough. Confident leaders create abundance by leading with stability and assurance.
