One of the best is “Hanlon’s Razor: Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.” This explains much of what I have seen in the workplace over the years.

My favorites:

"High sentiments always win in the end, The leaders who offer blood, toil, tears and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic." - George Orwel

"The task of leadership is not to put greatness into people, but to elicit it, for the greatness is there already." - John Buchan

A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go, but ought to be. - Rosalynn Carter

One of my favorite management quotes is from Warren Buffett:
“When a management team with a reputation for brilliance joins a business with poor fundamental economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.”
