[mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]Society depends upon professionals to provide reliable fixed standards in situations where the facts are murky or the temptations too strong. Their principal contribution is an ability to bring sound judgment to bear on these situations. They represent the best a particular community is able to muster in response to new challenges.[/mk_blockquote]
Dr. Robert Kennedy, St. Thomas University
[mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]The public position of the Indian has always been entirely dependent upon our private virtue. We are never permitted to forget that we do not live for ourselves alone, but for our tribe and clan. Every child, from the first days of learning, is a public servant in training.[/mk_blockquote]
Ohiyesa (Charles Eastman), Santee
[mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]A fiduciary is a steward cloaked in a legal shawl.[/mk_blockquote]
Don Trone
[mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]Exemplary leadership is a way of being; whether you’re leading others or leading your own life …. Leadership is about living our purpose while engaging deeply with others.[/mk_blockquote]
Richard Strozzi-Heckler, The Leadership Dojo
[mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]What does the organization, my stakeholders, need me to be today: a coach, a teacher, a decision-maker, a supporter, a listener, a pilgrim, a servant, someone who makes waves?[/mk_blockquote]
Ken Melrose, On Becoming a Servant Leader
[mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]Seventy percent of strategic failures are due to poor execution of leadership. It’s rarely for lack of smarts or vision.[/mk_blockquote]
Ram Charan, Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done
[mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]A profession is an exclusive group of people who possess and apply a systematically acquired body of knowledge derived from extensive research, education, training, and experience. Members of a profession have a special responsibility to fulfill their function competently and objectively for the benefit of society.[/mk_blockquote][mk_blockquote font_family=”none”][/mk_blockquote]
Duty with Honor (Canadian edition)
[mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.[/mk_blockquote]
Aristotle
[mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]Among the Indians there have been no written laws. Customs handed down from generation to generation have been the only laws to guide them. Anyone might act different from what was considered right if he chose to do so, but such acts would bring upon him the censure of the Nation. This fear of the Nation’s censure acted as a mighty band, binding all in one social, honorable compact.[/mk_blockquote]
George Copway, Ojibwa Chief
[mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]Fiduciary obligations flow from a principle within the moral sense that sensitizes us to the use of power when others come into view.[/mk_blockquote]
Stephen Young, Moral Capitalism
[mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]A fiduciary makes a commitment to judge wisely and objectively, and to ensure that all processes and procedures are congruent with the goals and objectives of the client.[/mk_blockquote]
Don Trone
[mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]The Plains tribes arranged their knowledge in a circular format —which is to say, there were no ultimate terms or constituents of their universe; only sets of relationships that sought to describe phenomena. The purpose of such an arrangement was to be certain that all known aspects of something would be included in the information that people possessed and considered when making decisions and reaching conclusions.[/mk_blockquote]
Vine Deloria, Jr., Spirit & Reason
[mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]The real need in most investment relationships is not for more investment management, but for more management, and this set of skills is far more likely to be found among corporate executives, foundation trustees, and makers of trusts with general management experience and orientation than among investment management specialists.[/mk_blockquote]
Charles D. Ellis
[mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]In organizations, real power and energy is generated through relationships. The patterns of relationships and the capacities to form them are more important than tasks, functions, roles, and positions.[/mk_blockquote]
Margaret Wheatly, Leadership and the New Science
[mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]Too many rules get in the way of leadership. They just put you in a box. … People set rules to keep from making decisions. [/mk_blockquote]
“Coach K” (Mike Krzyzewski)
[mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]If you have ten thousand regulations, you destroy all respect for the law. [/mk_blockquote]
Winston Churchill
[mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]
The more I consider the condition of the white men, the more fixed becomes my opinion that, instead of gaining, they have lost much by subjecting themselves to what they call the laws and regulations of civilized societies.
