Frank Herbert on leadership

The thing we must do intensely is be human together. People are more important than things.

Ecology is a dirty seven-letter word to many people. They are like heavy sleepers refusing to be aroused. “Leave me alone! It’s not time to get up yet!”

By the time we awaken faintly to the awareness that we have been socially conditioned, we find ourselves so indoctrinated that it’s difficult, if not impossible, to break the old patterns.

Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.

George S. Patton1885–1945Often credited to Thomas Paine

The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.

Henry Kissinger1923–2023

Being a leader is like being a lady, if you have to go around telling people you are one, you aren’t.

Margaret Thatcher1925–2013
