EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
The key is to work through issues and important
problems before they grow to the point that they
are considered to be conflicts. Conflicts result
from avoiding an issue and failing to address it
constructively head-on. Interpersonal conflicts,
like all our problems, need to be addressed
when they are big enough to see, yet still small
enough to solve.
- Goleman, Resonant Leadership

THE WILL TO LEAD:
“I don’t necessarily have to like all
my players and associates, but as
the leader I must love them. Love
is loyalty, love is teamwork, love
respects the dignity of the
individual. This is the strength of
any organization
- Vince Lombardi
THE WILL TO LEAD:
When we meet the needs of others
we will, by definition, be called
upon to serve and even sacrifice.
