Leadership mindset...

There's a Henry Ford (1863-1947) quote that's very well known amongst NLPers:

“Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right.”

I wonder if Ford ever met Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)?

Certainly the two leaders would have agreed on this trusim; I came across this Gandhi quote today,

“Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn't have it in the beginning.”

Now that's got me thinking of that conversational game - Fantasy Guestlist...

If you could invite 6 people to dinner - dead, alive or fictitious - who would they be and why?

I'd love to know. Why not share your Fantasy GuestList by clicking on the Comments link below.

Hi Adrian

I love this game! Here's my list...

- Mahatma Gandhi - for his wisdom, love, spiritual energy and, of course, some amazing stories.

- Martin Luther King - to thank him for what his work has done for society and to be inspired by stories of persistence and vision.

- Emmeline Pankhurst - as Martin.

- Albert Einstein - to talk about quantum physics

- Dawn French - to lighten things up and keep the boys in check

And we need music and more laughter, so...

- my beloved Andreas!

Apparently Einstein was a huge fan of Gandhi, so it would be lovely to be able to hook those guys up. Emmeline would, I'm sure approve of both Martin and Dawn. And if the conversation got too high-brow for me, I'd encourage Dawn and Andreas to be silly with me!

Einstein, Gandhi, Andreas and I are all vegetarians. I don't know about the others - but hope they would be open to a veggie feast!
