Leadership Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
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.

2.
Do your best to be the lead dog otherwise the view never changes.

3.
The wise man who is not heeded is counted a fool, and the fool who proclaims the general folly first and loudest passes for a prophet and F?hrer, and sometimes it is luckily the other way round as well, or else mankind would long since have perished of stupidity.
Jung, Carl

4.
I am a leader by default, only because nature does not allow a vacuum.
Tutu, Bishop Desmond

5.
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

6.
Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.
Schwarzkopf, Norman

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

8.
The right man comes at the right time.
Proverb, Italian

9.
I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
Gandhi, Mahatma

10.
The real leader has no need to lead -- he is content to point the way.
Miller, Henry

11.
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

12.
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

13.
Men shrink less from offending one who inspires love than one who inspires fear.
Machiavelli, Niccolo

14.
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

15.
You do not lead by hitting people over the head -- that's assault, not leadership.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

16.
Pull the string, and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

17.
It is a terrible thing to look over your shoulder when you are trying to lead -- and find no one there.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

18.
The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet.
Hesburgh, Theodore M.

19.
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

20.
The person who has no enemies has no followers.
Piatt, Don

21.
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

22.
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.

23.
You cannot antagonize and influence at the same time.
Knox, John

24.
It's important for the explorer to be willing to be led astray.
Oech, Roger Von

25.
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.
Maxwell, John C.

26.
People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher --a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It's the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.

27.
Leadership is like the old galley ships. 100s are rowing, but only one (the captain) knows where they are going

28.
I was not the lion, but it fell to me to give the lion's roar.
Churchill, Winston

29.
Great leaders understand human behavior rather than the cybernetics of any function.
Schorr, James

30.
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

31.
Management is nothing more than motivating other people.
Lee Iacocca

32.
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.

33.
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.

34.
The nation will find it very hard to look up to the leaders who are keeping their ears to the ground.
Churchill, Winston

35.
Leadership appears to be the art of getting others to want to do something you are convinced should be done.
Packard, Vance

36.
'Tis a dainty thing to command, though 'twere but a flock of sheep.
Cervantes, Miguel De

37.
Our chief want in life is somebody who will make us do what we can.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

38.
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

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

40.
The successful man doesn't use others, other people use the successful man, for above all the success is of service.
Caine, Mark

41.
Leadership is the wise use of power. Power is the capacity to translate intention into reality and sustain it.
Bennis, Warren

42.
The best leaders... almost without exception and at every level, are master users of stories and symbols.
Peters, Thomas J.

43.
When the best leader's work is done the people say, We did it ourselves.
Lao-Tzu

44.
Ethics must begin at the top of an organization. It is a leadership issue and the chief executive must set the example.
Hennessy, Edward

45.
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.
The EMS Manager Newsletter

46.
A leader is someone who helps improve the lives of other people or improve the system they live under.
Ervin, Sam

47.
Leadership is an opportunity to serve. It is not a trumpet call to self-importance.
Walters, J. Donald

48.
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

49.
No affection and a great brain, these are the people to command the world.
Disraeli, Benjamin

50.
Right or wrong, the customer is always right.
Field, Marshall
