"...Rather, the credit belongs to the woman or man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes up short again and again because there is no victory without error and shortcoming. The credit belongs to the leader who strives to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms; great devotions; who expends energy in a worthy cause, who, at best, knows the triumph of great achievement and, at worst, if he or she fails, at least fails while daring greatly. Such is the leader whose place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory or defeat.”
This month’s QOTM is about honoring all of the owners, CEO’s, Presidents and other senior executives who toil greatly, often with so few knowing their true sacrifice and dedication. This month’s quote is all about providing recognition to those gutsy souls who have withstood any number of “slings and arrows” from people who have opinions but have never actually been in the heat of “battle.” It is about acknowledging the few who lead the many with courage, commitment, integrity, perseverance and resolve.
So, to those unsung heroes, we here at Simpson Associates would like to join with many others to say…. "Thank you, and 'hats off.'”
Perform better!
