Do not seek to find a reason why elections are not possible. Seek to make them possible, and they will be possible.
One can't indefinitely do for somebody what he is reluctant to do for himself.
There are people, who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves.
Whoever can, should.
I mean, I've always said I have an amazing team and network of friends and people that I work with that, you know, inspire me and enable me to do what I do.
I work with talented people. I'm just their tool.
It doesn't do any good to hold the door open for someone if they don't have a way to walk through it. And if they do have a way to pass through it then you probably don't need to hold it open because they can open it for themselves.
I don't expect to be a ‘leader’ with this thing. I'd rather be a builder. I'd like to build a way for people doing good work to connect, to learn from each other, protect each other, and then I want to get out of their way.
Fortunately, I have some amazing partners that I work with that continue to support me and enable me to unleash the best me!
You cannot mandate productivity, you must provide the tools to let people become their best.
As a leader you provide for people only what they can't provide for themselves.
Tinker Bell needs a Tinker Bell. She needs someone plotting for her. I certainly think that it's something she wants.
I need those nukes, the chief said. I need them, I need them right now. I don't want to be an enabler, sir. I'd rather get you into a twelve step program to help you break this addiction.
I want to empower.
If the work requires smart, talented, creative people, then more than anything, you want to enable folks on the team to create.
We all know well that we can do things for others and in the process crush them, making them feel that they are incapable of doing things by themselves. To love someone is to reveal to them their capacities for life, the light that is shining in them.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.
Behind each great man, there's a Richard Delisle.
He knows that you have ability and what he does is he manipulates it and sort of empowers you.
I can't help you if you won't help yourself.
The loyalties which center upon number one are enormous. If he trips, he must be sustained. If he make mistakes, they must be covered. If he sleeps, he must not be wantonly disturbed. If he is no good, he must be pole-axed.
I want to be a proud daughter of Punjab. Celebrate my roots - fly, flourish, write stories, characters. Don't hold me and my voice to ransom. Enable me, don't disable me!
When someone asks, 'Does success make you into a monster?' I always say, 'No, it enables you to be a monster.'
To me, freedom entitles you to do something, not to not do something.
Our job is to get people in, create the spaces, and then get out of the way.
