2. WHAT IS REAL LEADERSHIP?
Cowardice asks the question, “Is it safe?” Expediency asks the question, “Is it politic?” Vanity asks the question, “Is it popular?” But, conscience asks the question, “Is it right?” And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because one’s conscience tells one that it is right.
Martin Luther King

5. DR. C’S WORDS OF WISDOM Leaders listen, learn, and affirm
Tell the Truth, it’s easier to remember
Bad News is additional information
Knowledge is Power
You can learn a lot from people who disagree with you
Listen, then speak
Persuade-Don’t order
Integrity is the only thing you have
Don’t make it your problem if its not your problem
Don’t forget where you come from
Buy Time
When you make a mistake, own it
Make the right things easy, the wrong things difficult

6. Mandela’s 8 Lessons of Leadership
Courage is not the absence of fear — it's inspiring others to move beyond it
Lead from the front — but don't leave your base behind
Lead from the back — and let others believe they are in front
Know your enemy — and learn about his favorite sport
Keep your friends close — and your rivals even closer
Appearances matter — and remember to smile
Nothing is black or white
Quitting is leading too
