Leadership Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
Leadership is an opportunity to serve. It is not a trumpet call to self-importance.
Walters, J. Donald

2.
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

3.
It is a terrible thing to look over your shoulder when you are trying to lead -- and find no one there.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

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

5.
The world of the 90s and beyond will belong to managers or those who make the numbers dance, as we used to say, or those who are conversant with all the business jargon we used to sound smart. The world will belong to passionate, driven leaders -- people who not only have an enormous amount of energy but who can energize those whom they lead.
Welch, John

6.
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

7.
Leadership involves finding a parade and getting in front of it.
Naisbitt, John

8.
All business success rests on something labeled a sale, which at least momentarily weds company and customer.
Peters, Thomas J.

9.
Every private in the French army carries a Field Marshall wand in his knapsack.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

10.
It is a great pity when the one who should be the head figure is a mere figure head.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon

11.
No affection and a great brain, these are the people to command the world.
Disraeli, Benjamin

12.
Who has not served cannot command.
Florio, John

13.
When we think we lead we are most led.
Byron, Lord

14.
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

15.
Popularity is not leadership.
Marcinko, Richard

16.
Faith in the ability of a leader is of slight service unless it be united with faith in his justice.
George Goethals

17.
Self-regulation will always be a challenge, but if somebody's going to be in charge, it might as well be me.
Daniel Akst

18.
I am more afraid of an army of 100 sheep led by a lion than an army of 100 lions led by a sheep.
Talleyrand, Charles Maurice De

19.
The boss drives people; the leader coaches them. The boss depends on authority; the leader on good will. The boss inspires fear; the leader inspires enthusiasm. The boss says I; The leader says WE. The boss fixes the blame for the breakdown; the leader fixes the breakdown. The boss says, GO; the leader says lets, GO!
Selfridge, H. Gordon

20.
Don't tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results.
Patton, George S.

21.
The measure of a great leader, is their success in bringing everyone around to their opinion twenty years later.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

22.
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

23.
The shepherd always tries to persuade the sheep that their interests and his own are the same.
Stendhal, Henri B.

24.
A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn't go by yourself.
Barker, Joel A.

25.
Search others for their virtue, and yourself for your vices.
Fuller, R. Buckminster

26.
The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self restraint to keep from meddling with them while they do it.
Roosevelt, Theodore

27.
Every ruler is harsh whose laws are new.
Aeschylus

28.
'Tis a dainty thing to command, though 'twere but a flock of sheep.
Cervantes, Miguel De

29.
Management is nothing more than motivating other people.
Lee Iacocca

30.
It's important for the explorer to be willing to be led astray.
Oech, Roger Von

31.
In the great mass of our people there are plenty individuals of intelligence from among whom leadership can be recruited.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

32.
Leadership is the other side of the coin of loneliness, and he who is a leader must always act alone. And acting alone, accept everything alone.
Marcos, Ferdinand E.

33.
Those who can command themselves command others.
Hazlitt, William

34.
I am a leader by default, only because nature does not allow a vacuum.
Tutu, Bishop Desmond

35.
He who dreads hostility too much is unfit to rule.
Seneca

36.
Management is about arranging and telling. Leadership is about nurturing and enhancing.
Peters, Thomas J.

37.
When firmness is sufficient, rashness is unnecessary.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

38.
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.

39.
The highest of distinctions is service to others.
King George VI

40.
An army of deer would be more formidable commanded by a lion, than an army of lions commanded by a stag.
Proverb

41.
Right or wrong, the customer is always right.
Field, Marshall

42.
I'm their leader, I've got to follow them.
Ledru-Rollin, Alexandre

43.
There are many elements to a campaign. Leadership is number one. Everything else is number two.
Brecht, Bertolt

44.
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

45.
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

46.
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

47.
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

48.
There is no necessary connection between the desire to lead and the ability to lead, and even less the ability to lead somewhere that will be to the advantage of the led
Evans, Bergen

49.
The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such.
Maurois, Andre

50.
When a blind man bears the standard, pity those who follow.
Proverb, French
