Need some inspiration and motivation for improving your leadership this year? I find that quotes are an effective means of communicating important and meaningful insights in a concise and focused manner, so one of the things I like to do is write down quotes on index cards and then look at a different one every day. Then I try to apply that quote to my own leadership by evaluating how I can improve based on the message that is being conveyed.

Following are 11 quotes that can help you get better as a leader in 2017. I hope you will read them and take them to heart!
