I found a quotation, which makes a good connection to the book “Why should anyone be lead by you?". In the Danish section of the blog, I wrote about this book, which is well worth reading.

How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something, but to be someone.
Quote: Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel

Coco has caught one of the essential ingredients in leadership and in personal leadership. I'm not sure the quote had connection to leadership when formulated, but it does suit well. Leader is more than just a job description!

Ludwig Wittgenstein is one of the twentieth century’s most important philosophers. Amongst other things, he’s writing about doubt and belief – any doubt presupposes I believe in something.

The following quotation is from “Über gewisheit”

§125. If a blind man were to ask me “Have you got two hands?” I should not make sure by looking. If I were to have any doubt of it, then I don’t know why I should trust my eyes. For why shouldn’t I test my eyes by looking to find out whether I see my two hands? What is to be tested by what? (Who decides what stands fast?) And what does it mean to say that such and such stands fast?
