Leadership quotes from our LinkedIn group members

By Caroline Fox

Last month, we staged a contest on our LinkedIn page. We asked for your favorite leadership quotes, and you responded with lots of great comments! Here are a few of our favorites:

"You do not lead by hitting people over the head. That's assault, not leadership."
--Dwight Eisenhower

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
