The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves." Ray Kroc "If some of today's leaders don't relearn the value of a smile, they'll be unable to fire up others' ability to find real enjoyment in their work.

Ken Blanchard

The leader beyond the millennium will not be the leader who has learned the lessons of how to do it, with ledgers of 'hows' balanced with 'its' that dissolve in the crashing changes ahead. The leader for today and the future will be focused on how to be - how to develop quality, character mind-set, values, principles, and courage.

The unwillingness of most leaders to set standards, to administer feedback when standards are not met, to praise clearly when standards are met, stands in the way of the development of excellence.

What polluters do is raise the standards of living for themselves, while lowering the quality of living for everybody else, and they do that by escaping the disciplines of the free market.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

We used to have adults who set standards, moral standards, cultural standards, legal standards. They were better than we were. They gave us something to aspire to. They were people that we described as having dignity and character. That's all gone now, particularly the upper levels of the Democrat Party. There isn't any of that kind of decency, dignity, character, morality.

Rush Limbaugh

The standards you establish for others must reflect the standards you set for yourself. No one will follow a hypocrite.

Lou Holtz

I set very high standards, normally for myself. For other people, I try to lower my standards.

Carrie Lam

As Governor of Texas, I have set high standards for our public schools, and I have met those standards.

The leader for today and the future will be focused on how to be - how to develop quality, character, mind-set, values, principles, and courage.
