Leadership Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
You can lead a whore to culture but you can't make her think.
Parker, Dorothy

2.
Leadership is action, not position.
Mcgannon, Donald H.

3.
The world cannot be governed without juggling.
Selden, John

4.
The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on. The genius of a good leader is to leave behind him a situation which common sense, without the grace of genius, can deal with successfully.
Lippmann, Walter

5.
He is the richest man who enriches his country most; in whom the people feel richest and proudest; who gives himself with his money; who opens the doors of opportunity widest to those about him; who is ears to the deaf; eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame. Such a man makes every acre of land in his community worth more, and makes richer every man who lives near him.
Marden, Orison Swett

6.
Efficiency tends to deal with Things. Effectiveness tends to deal with People. We manage things, we lead people

7.
If you have fear of those that command you, spare those that obey you.
Azai, Rabbi Ben

8.
Leadership involves finding a parade and getting in front of it.
Naisbitt, John

9.
When firmness is sufficient, rashness is unnecessary.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

10.
A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit.
Glasgow, Arnold H.

11.
So much of what we call management consists in making it difficult for people to work.
Peter Drucker

12.
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.

13.
Leaders aren't born, they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.
Lombardi, Vince

14.
Do what is right, not what you think the high headquarters wants or what you think will make you look good.
Schwarzkopf, Norman

15.
Search others for their virtue, and yourself for your vices.
Fuller, R. Buckminster

16.
Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

17.
An order that can be misunderstood will be misunderstood.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

18.
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.
Maxwell, John C.

19.
Skill in the art of communication is crucial to a leader's success. He can accomplish nothing unless he can communicate effectively.
Allen, Norman

20.
You do not lead by hitting people over the head -- that's assault, not leadership.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

21.
Leadership must be established from the top down.
Nunn, Sam

22.
I was not the lion, but it fell to me to give the lion's roar.
Churchill, Winston

23.
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

24.
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!

25.
The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such.
Maurois, Andre

26.
We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
Patton, George S.

27.
The first duty of a leader is to make himself be loved without courting love. To be loved without'playing up'to anyone - even to himself.
Andre Malraux

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 crowd gives the leader new strength.
Evenius

30.
There are many elements to a campaign. Leadership is number one. Everything else is number two.
Brecht, Bertolt

31.
The best leaders are those most interested in surrounding themselves with assistants and associates smarter than they are. They are frank in admitting this and are willing to pay for such talents.
Parrish, Amos

32.
The successful man doesn't use others, other people use the successful man, for above all the success is of service.
Caine, Mark

33.
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

34.
Education is the mother of leadership.
Willkie, Wendell L.

35.
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

36.
Great leaders understand human behavior rather than the cybernetics of any function.
Schorr, James

37.
Ronald Reagan has held the two most demeaning jobs in the country; President of the United States and radio broadcaster for the Chicago Cubs.
Will, George F.

38.
Those that rule must hear and be deaf, must see and be blind.
Proverb, German

39.
Blessed are the people whose leaders can look destiny in the eye without flinching but also without attempting to play God.
Kissinger, Henry

40.
I'm their leader, I've got to follow them.
Ledru-Rollin, Alexandre

41.
It often happens that I wake up at night and begin to think about a serious problem and decide I must tell the Pope about it. Then I wake up completely and remember that I am the Pope.
Pope John XXIII

42.
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

43.
'Tis a dainty thing to command, though 'twere but a flock of sheep.
Cervantes, Miguel De

44.
Wise leaders generally have wise counselors because it takes a wise person themselves to distinguish them.
Diogenes of Sinope

45.
Leadership is the wise use of power. Power is the capacity to translate intention into reality and sustain it.
Bennis, Warren

46.
The person who has no enemies has no followers.
Piatt, Don

47.
When the best leader's work is done the people say, We did it ourselves.
Lao-Tzu

48.
The wicked leader is he who the people despise. The good leader is he who the people revere. The great leader is he who the people say, We did it ourselves.
Lao-Tzu

49.
Leadership is an opportunity to serve. It is not a trumpet call to self-importance.
Walters, J. Donald

50.
The shepherd always tries to persuade the sheep that their interests and his own are the same.
Stendhal, Henri B.
