About This Quote

Your words, your thoughts, your imagination: powerful tools. Remember that and use them wisely. This quote is said to be attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson, but it's origins are unclear. Nonetheless, the message is simple: don’t underestimate the power of language.

It’s not just about trash-talking or gossiping; it’s about creating ideas that will help you grow and develop as a person. As a leader, you must be able to communicate effectively with the people who work with you. In order to properly communicate with them, you must understand what they want from you and what they think is important.
