This week I really enjoyed both the lecture on Monday as well as the Group presentations in class. One thing I thoroughly enjoyed about the lecture was all of the cool quotes on leadership that he explored. Some of my favorites are:

"In History, chance plays a part again and again. Character counts over and over."
-David McCullough

"Live in the Present!"

"The best leaders inspire people to rally around a change, while poor leaders have to push, cajole, or even threaten to accept change."

"We all have the potential to be great leaders and make a difference in our world today."

"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly...who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows the triumph of high achievement and who at worst, if he fails, at least he fails fighting for what he believed in."
-Theodore Roosevelt "In the Arena"

Along with these quotes I also liked the idea behind motives. Our motive-what is at our core, what causes us to act in a certain way, to do a certain thing, our incentive-truly is essential to consider, not just in being a good leader, but I believe in general for being a Good Person.
And of course, the closer our motives are to Christlike attributes, such as charity, service, joy, devotion, integrity, happiness, brotherly kindness and love to name a few, the better leader or individual we will be able to be.
