LEADERSHIPlessons learnt
A leader is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most
nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others
follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.
Nelson MandelaNoble Peace Prize Winner
I don't care whether I'm remembered. I do think that empowering people with the Internet and PCs is my lifetime's
work. That's my job; I'm thrilled about that and the new things we can do
there. It's also neat in terms of giving all this money back, to take my position where I've been the luckiest person to
help the people who have been unlucky to have better lives. I feel very
fortunate to have found that and [to] be able to get engaged and hopefully
energize that field as well. Bill GatesCo-Founder, Microsoft
Leadership is the ability to inspire others to achieve
shared objectives. Managers tell people what to do. Leaders
inspire them to do it.
Jeff WeinerCEO, LinkedIn
Be the change that you wish to see in
the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
Not everyone is born to lead. The best leader, however, is one who "leads
like a baby." The baby, though apparently depending on everyone, is
the king of the household. It is the power of expressing one's love and
appreciation and sympathy for others, that enables one person to succeed better in spreading the idea than
others...
Swami Vivekanand
Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were
no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you
can build your own things that other people can use.
Steve JobsCo-Founder, Apple
People don’t care about what you say... they care about what you build.

I played on my school’s cricket team, and there was one
incident that just was very stunning to me. I was a bowler — like a pitcher in baseball —
and I was throwing very ordinary stuff one day. So the captain took over from me and got the team a breakthrough, and then he let me take over
again.
Satya NadelaCEO, Microsoft
I never asked him why he did that, but my impression is that he knew he would destroy my confidence if he
didn’t put me back in. And I went on to take a lot more wickets after that. It was a subtle, important leadership lesson about when to intervene and when to build the confidence of the team. I think that is perhaps the No.
1 thing that leaders have to do: to bolster the confidence of the people you’re leading.
