“Positional leaders ignore the fact that every person has hopes, dreams...” — John C. Maxwell Quote

“Positional leaders ignore the fact that every person has hopes, dreams, desires, and goals of his own. And leaders must bring their vision and the aspirations of the people they lead together in a way that benefits everyone.”

“Everyone has the potential to become an encourager. You don't have to be rich. You don't have to be a genius. You don't have to have it all together. All you have to do is care about people and initiate.”

“A word of encouragement from a teacher to a child can change a life. A word of encouragement from a spouse can save a marriage. A word of encouragement from a leader can inspire a person to reach her potential.”

“I do have an older brother! But you know, he and I have always gotten along. We've always had different aspirations.”

“Our belief is that aspirations, meritocracy, and a world class institution are the three ingredients our country needs.”

“Don't let young people tell you their aspirations; when they drop them they will drop you.”
