Leadership

Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple, and it is also that difficult.
- Bennis, Warren
Leadership Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader works in the open, and the boss in covert. The leader leads, and the boss drives.
Roosevelt, Theodore

2.
Who has not served cannot command.
Florio, John

3.
There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.
Machiavelli, Niccolo

4.
Napoleon affords us an example of the danger of elevating one's self to the absolute, and sacrificing everything to the carrying out of an idea.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

5.
Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.
Ford, Henry

6.
It's important for the explorer to be willing to be led astray.
Oech, Roger Von

7.
If you lead the people with correctness, who will dare not be correct?
Confucius

8.
Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.
Schwarzkopf, Norman

9.
In the great mass of our people there are plenty individuals of intelligence from among whom leadership can be recruited.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

10.
Self-regulation will always be a challenge, but if somebody's going to be in charge, it might as well be me.
Daniel Akst

11.
Ethics must begin at the top of an organization. It is a leadership issue and the chief executive must set the example.
Hennessy, Edward

12.
Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.
John F. Kennedy

13.
Leadership is the challenge to be something more than average.
Rohn, Jim

14.
Leadership in today's world requires far more than a large stock of gunboats and a hard fist at the conference table.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

15.
If you lead a country like Britain, a strong country, a country which has taken a lead in world affairs in good times and in bad, a country that is always reliable, then you have to have a touch of iron about you.
Thatcher, Margaret

16.
There are many elements to a campaign. Leadership is number one. Everything else is number two.
Brecht, Bertolt

17.
I don't believe in just ordering people to do things. You have to sort of grab an oar and row with them.
Geneen, Harold S.

18.
The person who has no enemies has no followers.
Piatt, Don

19.
No affection and a great brain, these are the people to command the world.
Disraeli, Benjamin

20.
An army of deer would be more formidable commanded by a lion, than an army of lions commanded by a stag.
Proverb

21.
Every ruler is harsh whose laws are new.
Aeschylus

22.
The minute a person whose word means a great deal to others dare to take the open-hearted and courageous way, many others follow.
Anderson, Marian

23.
You can lead a whore to culture but you can't make her think.
Parker, Dorothy

24.
Leadership is a matter of having people look at you and gain confidence, seeing how you react. If you're in control, they're in control.
Landry, Tom

25.
When the best leader's work is done the people say, We did it ourselves.
Lao-Tzu

26.
Faith in the ability of a leader is of slight service unless it be united with faith in his justice.
George Goethals

27.
Leadership has to do with direction. Management has to do with the speed, coordination and logistics in going in that direction. The WORKERS are chopping their way through the jungle. The MANAGERS are coordinating, making sure the tools are sharp, etc. The LEADERS climb a tree and shout Wrong jungle!! The MANAGERS shout back Be quiet! We're making progress!

28.
In really good companies, you have to lead. You have to come up with big ideas and express them forcefully. I have always been encouraged -- or sometimes forced -- to confront the very natural fear of being wrong. I was constantly pushed to find out what I really thought and then to speak up. Over time, I came to see that waiting to discover which way the wind was blowing is an excellent way to learn how to be a follower.
Enrico, Roger

29.
The real leader has no need to lead -- he is content to point the way.
Miller, Henry

30.
Leadership is not a position. You are not a leader because you have the title of manager. Leadership is something that we earn from followers on a day to day basis.
The EMS Manager Newsletter

31.
It is a terrible thing to look over your shoulder when you are trying to lead -- and find no one there.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

32.
The right man comes at the right time.
Proverb, Italian

33.
Leaders don't inflict pain -- they share pain.
Depree, Max

34.
A leader knows what's best to do; a manager knows merely how best to do it.
Adelman, Ken

35.
Men shrink less from offending one who inspires love than one who inspires fear.
Machiavelli, Niccolo

36.
The best leaders of all, the people know not they exist. They turn to each other and say We did it ourselves.
Saying, Zen

37.
Outstanding leaders go out of the way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it's amazing what they can accomplish.
Walton, Sam

38.
Some men must follow, and some command, though all are made of clay.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

39.
It is a characteristic of all movements and crusades that the psychopathic element rises to the top.
Lindner, Robert

40.
When the leadership is right and the time is right, the people can always be counted upon to follow -- to the end at all costs.
Seymour, Harold J.

41.
A leader is best when people barely know he exists, not so good when people obey and acclaim him, worse when they despise him. But of a good leader who talks little when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: We did it ourselves.
Lao-Tzu

42.
The person who renders loyal service in a humble capacity will be chosen for higher responsibilities, just as the biblical servant who multiplied the one pound given him by his master was made ruler over ten cities...

It is a great pity when the one who should be the head figure is a mere figure head.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon

47.
The shepherd always tries to persuade the sheep that their interests and his own are the same.
Stendhal, Henri B.

48.
All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

49.
If you want to be comfortable -- take an easy job. If you aspire to leadership, take off your coat.

50.
Show me the leader and I will know his men. Show me the men and I will know their leader.
Newcomb, Arthur W.
