LEADERSHIP ”The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.” - Henry Kissinger ”Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.”- Robert Francis Kennedy ”If there is a trait which does characterize leaders it is opportunism. Succesful people are very often those who steadfastly refuse to be daunted by disadvantage and have the ability to turn disadvantage to good effect. They are people who seize opportunity and take risks. Leadership then seems to be a matter of personality and character.” - John Viney
