As some of you may know, I teach leadership. One of the people I admire most as a leader is Eleanor Roosevelt. A YouTube video biography of Eleanor can be found on this site
She was First Lady from 1932 to 1945 and was one of the most important leaders of the 20th Century. She fought for causes that were not popular and championed for social justice throughout her lifetime. What follows are some quotes from Eleanor. I would appreciate your views as to what they mean to you.
Warm regards,
Emilio
