Effective Rotary Clubs

Leadership As we look ahead into the next century

leaders will be those who empower others ---- Bill Gates

Leadership Go to the people, learn from them

Live with them Start with what they know Build with what they have

The best of leaders when the job is done When the task is accomplished,

The people will say, We have done it ourselves

---Lao Tzu

Leadership The leaders who work most effectively never say “I”.

And that’s not becausethey have trained themselves not to say ‘I”

they don’t think “I”. They think “We”they think “Team”.

That is what creates Trust.what enables you to get the task done.

---Peter Drucker
