Some of my favorite quotes for leaders are:
- A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit — Arnold H. Glasgow
- I praise loudly, I blame softly — Catherine II of Russia
- Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress — Mohandas Gandhi
- A long dispute means that both parties are wrong — Voltaire
- The least questioned assumptions are often the most questionable — Paul Broca
These and many more compelling quotes can be found in Susan H. Shearouse’s book, Conflict 101.
