The Quotable Manager: Inspiration for Business and Life

A good quote can capture the essence of an idea or teaching and tell it in a few words-concisely and with impact. The Quotable Manager takes simple, meaningful, and easy-to-remember quotes, puts them right at the fingertips of today's busy managers and leaders, and becomes an excellent resource when a thoughtful word is needed.
More than 600 quotes are collected from a diverse pool of leaders and historical figures including Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Mark Twain, Julius Caesar, Michael Jordan, John Ruskin, Helen Keller, Mother Teresa, Confucius, John Wayne, and more. They offer inspiring advice and wisdom on topics such as attitude, leadership, perseverance, patience, trust, fairness, planning, career, failure, and integrity. Divided into twenty chapters, each begins with an inspiring story or anecdote about a person who has come to exemplify that characteristic.
