1 " You can provide the conditions for the motivation of others and the leadership to help them find a way but they must have the intrinsic spark, the desire, to move, to overcome the inertia of the status quo and change things. "
― Graham Speechley
2 " Nobody will achieve anything just by dreaming. "
3 " Surround yourself with people who are better than you in each individual area of business. "
4 " Procrastination at the start and sometimes during the project meant there wasn’t time to execute the plans well enough. "
5 " By acknowledging our boundaries and limitations, we attain greater heights than we ever will by appearing to think we know everything. "
6 " Listen with your eyes as well as your ears. "
7 " Listen with an open mind, gather all the incoming information, both verbal and non-verbal and be careful not to ignore things you don’t wish to hear. Don’t make assumptions or jump to conclusions. The punchline usually comes at the end! "
8 " I'm not perfect and the older I get the more I realise that. "
9 " I never fired anyone for telling me I was wrong. "
10 " We can accomplish a whole lot more with a team who speak up than one with a bad case of captainitis. Passive cooperation demotivates the workers, wears out the leader and harms the company – I never fired anyone for telling me I was wrong. "
11 " Motivation is the desire to do things. It's the difference between staying in bed and getting up in the morning. It's the crucial part of setting and achieving goals. "
