- General Stanley McChrystal
"Leading a team of teams is a formidable task - much of what a leader must be, and do, has fundamentally changed. The heroic, "hands-on" leader whose personal competence and force of will dominated battlefields and boardrooms for generations has been overwhelmed by accelerating speed, swelling complexity, and interdependence. Even the most successful of today's heroic leaders appear uneasy in the saddle, all too aware that their ability to understand and control is a chimera. We have to begin leading differently."
- Herb Kelleher, Co-Founder / Former CEO - Southwest Airlines
"Years ago, business gurus used to apply the business school conundrum to me: 'Who comes first? Your shareholders, your employees, or your customers?' I said, 'Well, that's easy,' but my response was heresy at that time. I said employees come first and if employees are treated right, they treat the outside world right, the world used the company's product again, and that makes shareholders happy. That really is the way it works. It's not a conundrum at all."
Favorite Quotes Spoken by Our Founder - Joe Palm
"People are more important than their work. Treat them that way and it's amazing what they will do for you!"
"A true leader's comfort zone is not to have one."
"When the Practical Servant Leader focuses on their team, they step into the shadows and by doing so, pardoxically, increase their influence and earn the trust of their team. Inversely, when they seek the limelight, their team's trust is diminished. This exposes the inverse relationship between leadership visibility and effectiveness. It's all about the team!"
