You manage things; you lead people. - Admiral Grace Murray Hopper

This is a great quote because it focuses on how people have to be handled differently than other resources.  Yes, people are a "resource", but they can to be handled different than what you would manage any other resource.  This is a great quote that I feel shows leadership as well as ties in well with my doctorate degree.  As I become a better leader, I need to continue to view people and the workforce with a better understanding of what it takes to best utilize the resource and harness its ability.
