Leadership 
"Leadership is constantly changing, and
survivors learn to change with it."
"Yesterday, natural resources defined power.
Today, knowledge is power.
Yesterday, leaders commanded and controlled.
Today, leaders empower and coach.
Yesterday, leaders were warriors. Today, they are
facilitators.

Yesterday, leaders directed. Today, leaders
delegate.
Dr. Denis Waitley
The Toastmaster, 2012
