Vision Quotes
-
When you study the lives of all great achievers-those who have had the greatest influence on others, those who have made things happen-you will find a pattern.

The highest manifestations of these four intelligences are: for mental, vision; for the physical, discipline; for the emotional, passion; for the spiritual, conscience. These manifestations also represent our highest means of expressing our voice.

Most people think leadership is about being in charge. Most people think leadership is about having all the answers and being the most intelligent person or the most qualified person in the room.
