 When person does good
deed When he or she didn’t
have to, God looks down &
smiles & says
“for this moment alone it was
worth creating world”
• The assets of most businesses
walk out of the door at the
end of each day.
• The challenge to Leadership
is to
“Create an environment of
Trust, which will Motivate
them to want to return the
next day.
 Unfortunately,
some companies
worry more about
Broken Machines
than they do
Broken People.
 Half the harm
that is
Done in this world is
due to People,
who want to feel
important.
- T.S. Eliot
 Think about the Qualities of the
“Best Leaders”
you ever worked for.
You'll find that most of them:
- Were approachable & easy to talk to
- Rarely became overexcited or
flew off the handle
- Didn't let a few problems poison their
whole outlook took a friendly, pleasant,
positive approach
- Showed consideration for the feelings
of the people who worked for them
 “We are what
we think. All
that we are
arises with our
thoughts. With
our thoughts,
we make the
world.”
Buddha.
 The only place where
your dream becomes
impossible is in your
own thinking.

individuals in that group to do
what needs to be done." –

Empathy & sympathy are
very close. Easiest way to
remember -
