Leadership Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
Search others for their virtue, and yourself for your vices.
Fuller, R. Buckminster

2.
Self-regulation will always be a challenge, but if somebody's going to be in charge, it might as well be me.
Daniel Akst

3.
I've always found that the speed of the boss is the speed of the team.
Iacocca, Lee

4.
We will make them think it's their idea. That's how all great leaders fool people.
Laura Preble

5.
Every ruler is harsh whose laws are new.
Aeschylus

6.
No man has ever risen to the real stature of spiritual manhood until he has found that it is finer to serve somebody else than it is to serve himself.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

7.
Pull the string, and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

8.
The real leader has no need to lead -- he is content to point the way.
Miller, Henry

9.
The leader seeks to communicate his vision to his followers. He captures their attention with his optimistic intuition of possible solutions to their needs. He influences them by the dynamism of his faith. He demonstrates confidence that the challenge can be met, the need resolved, the crisis overcome.
Haggai, John

10.
An order that can be misunderstood will be misunderstood.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

11.
Most of the ladies and gentlemen who mourn the passing of the nation's leaders wouldn't know a leader if they saw one. If they had the bad luck to come across a leader, they would find out that he might demand something from them, and this impertinence would put an abrupt and indignant end to their wish for his return.
Lapham, Lewis H.

12.
Leadership must be established from the top down.
Nunn, Sam

13.
You do not lead by hitting people over the head -- that's assault, not leadership.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

14.
The wealth of kings is in the affections of their subjects.
Motto

15.
You can lead a whore to culture but you can't make her think.
Parker, Dorothy

16.
I don't think that a leader can control to any great extent his destiny. Very seldom can he step in and change the situation if the forces of history are running in another direction.
Nixon, Richard M.

17.
It's important for the explorer to be willing to be led astray.
Oech, Roger Von

18.
The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.
Rohn, Jim

19.
It is a great pity when the one who should be the head figure is a mere figure head.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon

20.
Reason and judgment are the qualities of a leader.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

21.
A boss creates fear, a leader confidence. A boss fixes blame, a leader corrects mistakes. A boss knows all, a leader asks questions. A boss makes work drudgery, a leader makes it interesting. A boss is interested in himself or herself, a leader is interested in the group.
Ewing, Russell H.

22.
Those that rule must hear and be deaf, must see and be blind.
Proverb, German

23.
I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
Gandhi, Mahatma

24.
A leader who doesn't hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.
Meir, Golda

25.
A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.
Rohn, Jim

26.
A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn't go by yourself.
Barker, Joel A.

27.
We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
Patton, George S.

28.
Some men must follow, and some command, though all are made of clay.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

29.
Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men -- the other 999 follow women.
Marx, Groucho

30.
Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to, you'd better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony. And they can tell when you're not giving it all you've got. Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved. It's being able to take it as well as dish it out. That's the only way you're going to get respect from the players.
Bird, Larry

31.
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!

32.
A leader has been defined as one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

33.
If you want to be comfortable -- take an easy job. If you aspire to leadership, take off your coat.

34.
Each person must decide for himself what he wants each day. As a leader, I will expose you to the options and the likely consequences of those options. I'll even share my opinion if asked, but I'll never confuse it with the opinion, which simply doesn't exist.
Dyer, Wayne

35.
Who has not served cannot command.
Florio, John

36.
He who dreads hostility too much is unfit to rule.
Seneca

37.
Doing what's right isn't the problem. It is knowing what's right.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

38.
Leaders don't inflict pain -- they share pain.
Depree, Max

39.
True leadership must be for the benefit of the followers, not the enrichment of the leaders.
Townsend, Robert

40.
One secret of leadership is that the mind of a leader never turns off. Leaders even when they are sightseers or spectators, are active; not passive observers.
Humes, James

41.
The world cannot be governed without juggling.
Selden, John

42.
Our chief want in life is somebody who will make us do what we can.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

43.
If I advance, follow me! If I retreat, kill me! If I die, avenge me!
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

44.
'Tis a dainty thing to command, though 'twere but a flock of sheep.
Cervantes, Miguel De

45.
So much of what we call management consists in making it difficult for people to work.
Peter Drucker

46.
The high sentiments always win in the end, the leaders who offer blood, toil, tears, and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.
Orwell, George

47.
It is very comforting to believe that leaders who do terrible things are, in fact, mad. That way, all we have to do is make sure we don't put psychotics in high places and we've got the problem solved.
Wolfe, Thomas

48.
The shepherd always tries to persuade the sheep that their interests and his own are the same.
Stendhal, Henri B.

49.
Managers are people who do things right; leaders are people who do the right thing.
Bennis, Warren

50.
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.
