Leadership Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
The chief executive who knows his strengths and weaknesses as a leader is likely to be far more effective than the one who remains blind to them. He also is on the road to humility -- that priceless attitude of openness to life that can help a manager absorb mistakes, failures, or personal shortcomings.
Adair, John

2.
Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.
Ford, Henry

3.
Morale is faith in the man at the top.
Johnston, Albert Sidney

4.
He who dreads hostility too much is unfit to rule.
Seneca

5.
A leader is someone who helps improve the lives of other people or improve the system they live under.
Ervin, Sam

6.
I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.
Lao-Tzu

7.
Leaders don't inflict pain -- they share pain.
Depree, Max

8.
Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple, and it is also that difficult.
Bennis, Warren

9.
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

10.
Efficiency tends to deal with Things. Effectiveness tends to deal with People. We manage things, we lead people

11.
Leadership is the wise use of power. Power is the capacity to translate intention into reality and sustain it.
Bennis, Warren

12.
Justice is the first virtue of those who command, and stops the complaints of those who obey.
Diderot, Denis

13.
The first task of a leader is to keep hope alive.
Batten, Joe

14.
I learned that a great leader is a man who has the ability to get other people to do what they don't want to do and like it.
Truman, Harry S

15.
The secret of a leader lies in the tests he has faced over the whole course of his life and the habit of action he develops in meeting those tests.
Sheehy, Gail

16.
Ethics must begin at the top of an organization. It is a leadership issue and the chief executive must set the example.
Hennessy, Edward

17.
The successful man doesn't use others, other people use the successful man, for above all the success is of service.
Caine, Mark

18.
A leader knows what's best to do; a manager knows merely how best to do it.
Adelman, Ken

19.
Every leader needs to look back once in a while to make sure he has followers. Source Unknown Effective leaders are known by the questions they ask rather than the statements they make.

20.
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.

21.
The shepherd always tries to persuade the sheep that their interests and his own are the same.
Stendhal, Henri B.

22.
Pull the string, and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

23.
Every private in the French army carries a Field Marshall wand in his knapsack.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

24.
Anyone can steer the ship when the sea is calm.
Syrus, Publilius

25.
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.

26.
Eagles don't flock, you have to find them one at a time.
Perot, H. Ross

27.
Managers are people who do things right; leaders are people who do the right thing.
Bennis, Warren

28.
Faith in the ability of a leader is of slight service unless it be united with faith in his justice.
George Goethals

29.
The speed of the leader determines the rate of the pack.
Lukas, Wayne

30.
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.

31.
Certainly a leader needs a clear vision of the organization and where it is going, but a vision is of little value unless it is shared in a way so as to generate enthusiasm and commitment. Leadership and communication are inseparable.
Taylor, Claude

32.
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

33.
True leadership must be for the benefit of the followers, not the enrichment of the leaders.
Townsend, Robert

34.
Reason and judgment are the qualities of a leader.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

35.
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

36.
Wise leaders generally have wise counselors because it takes a wise person themselves to distinguish them.
Diogenes of Sinope

37.
The penalty of leadership is loneliness.
Robinson, H. Wheeler

38.
The person who has no enemies has no followers.
Piatt, Don

39.
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

40.
Doing what's right isn't the problem. It is knowing what's right.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

41.
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

42.
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.

43.
To be a leader, you have to make people want to follow you, and nobody wants to follow someone who doesn't know where he is going.
Namath, Joe

44.
The leader can never close the gap between himself and the group. If he does, he is no longer what he must be. He must walk a tightrope between the consent he must win and the control he must exert.
Lombardi, Vince

45.
Management is about arranging and telling. Leadership is about nurturing and enhancing.
Peters, Thomas J.

46.
The measure of a great leader, is their success in bringing everyone around to their opinion twenty years later.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

47.
Right or wrong, the customer is always right.
Field, Marshall

48.
There is no such thing as a perfect leader either in the past or present, in China or elsewhere. If there is one, he is only pretending, like a pig inserting scallions into its nose in an effort to look like an elephant.
Liu Shao-Ch'I

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

50.
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
