The one thing I have learned as a CEO is that leadership at various levels is vastly different. When I was leading a function or a business there were certain demands and requirements to be a leader. As you move up the organization the requirements for leading that organization don't grow vertically they grow exponentially.
Rotary provides training at all levels so that those who have been selected for leadership positions have the opportunity to learn and apply leadership principles to their jobs.
What I've really learned over time is that optimism is a very very important part of leadership.
And I'd say one of the great lessons I've learned over the past couple of decades from a management perspective is that really when you come down to it it really is all about people and all about leadership.
What nourishes us at home and in school is what inspires us. When we get awareness and learn about the great potential that we all human beings have we are able to discover our leadership.
You can never stop and as older people we have to learn how to take leadership from the youth and I guess I would say that this is what I'm attempting to do right now.
I think one of the keys to leadership is recognizing that everybody has gifts and talents. A good leader will learn how to harness those gifts toward the same goal.
I think a major act of leadership right now call it a radical act is to create the places and processes so people can actually learn together using our experiences.
You learn far more from negative leadership than from positive leadership. Because you learn how not to do it. And therefore you learn how to do it.
Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.
Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children before they are aware of their own self-importance learn so easily.
Leadership cannot really be taught. It can only be learned.
If your actions inspire others to dream more learn more do more and become more you are a leader.
Growing up in Nashville especially in a music business family means growing up with knowledge that seems like common sense until later in life when you realize people spend thousands of dollars a semester trying to learn or pretending to learn while looking for some intern job on music row.
The tree of knowledge is not the tree of life! And yet can we cast out of our spirits all the good or evil poured into them by so many learned generations? Ignorance cannot be learned.
I love sharing my knowledge of hitting with others. Now coaches and players at all levels can learn my systematic approach to hitting a baseball with more consistency mental strength and accuracy.
I'd like to work with any actress from whom I can learn-one who has had many experiences with many directors and is willing to share some of her knowledge with me.
But I think it's great to be able to work with established directors and then also first-timers. I feel like you learn from both of them but then you can go and share your knowledge with each of them. That's really fantastic!
The most important thing I learned as a foreign correspondent in about 80 countries is that it takes a very shallow knowledge of history to think that there are solutions to most problems.
Close contact between science and the practice of collective farms and State farms creates inexhaustible opportunities for the development of theoretical knowledge enabling us to learn ever more and more about the nature of living bodies and the soil.
I think Lenat is headed in the right direction but someone needs to include a knowledge base about learning.
I hope to attend it as Japan needs to tell the world the lessons knowledge and reflections learned from the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant.
Perhaps the prevalence of pedantry may be largely accounted for by the common error of thinking that because useful knowledge should be remembered any kind of knowledge that is at all worth learning should be remembered too.
It's a wonderful profession and it opens lots of doors and I think it's quite right that people can accuse actors and actresses of being dilettante but you learn on every job whatever it is the process moves you on in some way and yeah I want to expand my knowledge of our existence I suppose.
