| [Quote No.37191] Need Area: Work > Leadership
"Leaders are not what many people think — people with huge crowds following them. Leaders are people who go their own way without caring, or even looking to see whether anyone is following them. 'Leadership qualities' are not the qualities that enable people to attract followers, but those that enable them to do without them. They include, at the very least, courage, endurance, patience, humor, flexibility, resourcefulness, determination, a keen sense of reality, and the ability to keep a cool and clear head even when things are going badly. This is the opposite of the 'charisma' that we hear so much about." - John Holt

"No use to shout at them to pay attention. If the situations, the materials, the problems before the child do not interest him, his attention will slip off to what does interest him, and no amount of exhortation of threats will bring it back.

My concern is to end the ugly and antihuman business of [coercive, bureaucratic, cookie-cutter] people-shaping and to allow and help people to [freely and rationally] shape themselves [so as to allow them to fit into society as they choose but most of all to bring out their joyful interests and unique talents for the good of themselves and, in sharing these, for the good of society as a whole]." - John Holt
