Michael GelbQuotes from Michael J. Gelb:

"Although it's hard to overstate Leonardo da Vinci's brilliance, recent scientific research reveals that you probably underestimate your own capabilities."

"Baby ducks learn to survive by imitating their mothers. Learning through imitation is fundamental to many species, including humans. As we become adults we have a unique advantage: we can choose whom and what to imitate."

"True success means pursuing your goals and dreams with so much childlike passion that notions of failure and success become irrelevant."

"If you are functioning as a leader now or if you aspire to be a leader in the future you must cultivate innovation literacy. The good news is that this is something you can learn."

"Integrity requires more than just good intentions. It demands increasing consciousness, openness to feedback and humility."

"You can learn anything you want to, and you'll surprise yourself with what you can achieve when you know how to learn."

"Intensify the quest for authenticity as you gain power."
