  1. “’Restore connection’ is not just for devices, it is for people too. If we cannot disconnect, we cannot lead.

This mentality needs to be introduced as a leadership and performance-enhancing tool.” — Arianna Huffington, Huffington Post

  1. “I never dreamed about success. I worked for it.” — Estée Lauder, Estée Lauder
  1. “My father had a simple test that helps me measure my own leadership quotient: When you are out of the office, he once asked me, does your staff carry on remarkably well without you?” — Martha Peak, AMA Magazines

  1. “Leadership is hard to define and good leadership even harder. But if you can get people to follow you to the ends of the earth, you are a great leader.” — Indra Nooyi, PepsiCo
  1. “You have to look at leadership through the eyes of the followers and you have to live the message. What I have learned is that people become motivated when you guide them to the source of their own power and when you make heroes out of employees who personify what you want to see in the organisation.” — Anita Roddick

I have to lead according to my personality, according to what I think is necessary under any set of circumstances.” — Meg Whitman, CEO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise
