Leadership Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
Men are lead by trifles.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

2.
Leadership is the activity of influencing people to cooperate towards some goal which they come to find desirable and which motivates them over the long haul.
Tead, Orway

3.
If you want to be comfortable -- take an easy job. If you aspire to leadership, take off your coat.

4.
Leaders create an environment which everyone has the opportunity to do work which matches his potential capability and for which an equitable differential reward is provided.
Jaques, Elliott

5.
We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
Patton, George S.

6.
Morale is faith in the man at the top.
Johnston, Albert Sidney

7.
Leadership appears to be the art of getting others to want to do something you are convinced should be done.
Packard, Vance

8.
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

9.
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.

10.
Pull the string, and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

11.
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

12.
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.

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

14.
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

15.
Leadership is not magnetic personality--that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not making friends and influencing people --that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person's vision to higher sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.
Drucker, Peter F.

16.
So much of what we call management consists in making it difficult for people to work.
Peter Drucker

17.
A leader who doesn't hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.
Meir, Golda

18.
The crowd gives the leader new strength.
Evenius

19.
I'm their leader, I've got to follow them.
Ledru-Rollin, Alexandre

20.
A crown, golden in show is but a wreath of thorns.
Milton, John

21.
The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such.
Maurois, Andre

22.
The person who has no enemies has no followers.
Piatt, Don

23.
Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple, and it is also that difficult.
Bennis, Warren

24.
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

25.
A good leader needs to have a compass in his head and a bar of steel in his heart.
Townsend, Robert

26.
The shepherd always tries to persuade the sheep that their interests and his own are the same.
Stendhal, Henri B.

27.
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

28.
Leadership is like the old galley ships. 100s are rowing, but only one (the captain) knows where they are going

29.
We are reformers in the spring and summer, but in autumn we stand by the old. Reformers in the morning, and conservers at night.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

30.
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

31.
Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility.
Augustine, St.

32.
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.

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

34.
'Tis a dainty thing to command, though 'twere but a flock of sheep.
Cervantes, Miguel De

35.
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

36.
No affection and a great brain, these are the people to command the world.
Disraeli, Benjamin

37.
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

38.
The best leaders... almost without exception and at every level, are master users of stories and symbols.
Peters, Thomas J.

39.
Wise leaders generally have wise counselors because it takes a wise person themselves to distinguish them.
Diogenes of Sinope

40.
You do not lead by hitting people over the head -- that's assault, not leadership.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

41.
There are many elements to a campaign. Leadership is number one. Everything else is number two.
Brecht, Bertolt

42.
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.

43.
Search others for their virtue, and yourself for your vices.
Fuller, R. Buckminster

44.
Eagles don't flock, you have to find them one at a time.
Perot, H. Ross

45.
Six traits of effective leaders: 1. Make others feel important 2. Promote a vision 3. Follow the golden rule 4. Admit mistakes 5. Criticize others only in private 6. Stay close to the action Example has more followers than reason. We unconsciously imitate what pleases us, and approximate to the characters we most admire.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

46.
Delegating work works, provided the one delegating works, too.
Half, Robert

47.
The lead dog gets the best view. The rest of the dogs view is butt ugly. Of course, the lead dog is also the first to fall into the ravine.
Saunders, Richard

48.
Impatience is the cause of most of our irregularities and extravagances Command by obeying.
Motto

49.
The manager administers; the leader innovates. The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective. The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why. The manager has his eye on the bottom line; the leader has his eye on the horizon. The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.
Bennis, Warren

50.
If you have fear of those that command you, spare those that obey you.
Azai, Rabbi Ben
