As a leader, have you ever given thought as to how and when you’ve inspired others? Maybe you’ve received feedback about the behaviors or skills you display and possess that others have found to be impactful?

Think about it and give yourself credit for making a difference!

In each weekly leadership tip we like to share quotes that we feel are meaningful. There are literally thousands to choose from, but here are a few of our favorites:
