Ready, Aim, Inspire!: 101 Quotes on Leadership & Teamwork [Paperback]

Jim Walker (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 6, 2002

Leadership and teamwork are the critical components in today's project-driven world. Drawing on materials from ancient history and modern day heroes, this collection of quotes provides a provocative and refreshing view of what it takes to forge and lead a winning team. Ready, Aim, Inspire!Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership. Colin Powell Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; While others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before.

This review is from: Ready, Aim, Inspire!: 101 Quotes on Leadership & Teamwork (Paperback)

This book wins by combining powerful quotes with a format that's easy to digest. In a plane ride I was so invigorated by "Ready, Aim, Inspire!" that I bought it for my leadership team. Actually, the four martinis in First Class might have helped. But what's the difference?

5.0 out of 5 stars Right on Target, November 5, 2003

This review is from: Ready, Aim, Inspire!: 101 Quotes on Leadership & Teamwork (Paperback)

Jim Walker has put together a diverse collection of quotes on leadership. From Jesus to Napoleon, you'll find their thoughts on hope and service to others. From General Patton to Gandhi, you'll read what these leaders have said about getting results and sacred duties. From Maya Angelou to Dr. Seuss, you'll reflect on teamwork and confidence. It's no accident that the word which stands out in the title is INSPIRE. The quotes Walker has selected can be used in a variety of ways; they can be used for personal motivation or to help lead a group to success. I wish I had found this book a year ago. There are a number of quotes I would have liked to use to introduce chapters in the book that I wrote for developing leaders.
