Motivational Quotes
Leadership
Great leaders understand human behavior rather than the cybernetics of any function.

Best Quotes about Leadership
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
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.
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
The penalty of leadership is loneliness.
Robinson, H. Wheeler
The well being of the people is the supreme law.
Leaders must invoke an alchemy of great vision.
Kissinger, Henry
An army of deer would be more formidable commanded by a lion, than an army of lions commanded by a stag.
Proverb
Reason and judgment are the qualities of a leader.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
I must follow the people. Am I not their leader?
Disraeli, Benjamin
Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men -- the other 999 follow women.
Marx, Groucho
The speed of the leader determines the rate of the pack.
Lukas, Wayne
A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.
Rohn, Jim
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
Men shrink less from offending one who inspires love than one who inspires fear.
Machiavelli, Niccolo
The highest of distinctions is service to others.
King George VI
The person who has no enemies has no followers.
Piatt, Don
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
A good leader needs to have a compass in his head and a bar of steel in his heart.
Townsend, Robert
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
Pull the string, and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
You do not lead by hitting people over the head -- that's assault, not leadership.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
If I advance, follow me! If I retreat, kill me! If I die, avenge me!
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
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.
The right man comes at the right time.
Proverb, Italian
Men are lead by trifles.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
Those who can command themselves command others.
Hazlitt, William
Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
Tell a person they are brave and you help them become so.
Carlyle, Thomas
The crowd gives the leader new strength.
Evenius
A prince should be slow to punish, and quick to reward.
Ovid
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
I'm their leader, I've got to follow them.
Ledru-Rollin, Alexandre
A leader has been defined as one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
True leadership must be for the benefit of the followers, not the enrichment of the leaders.
Townsend, Robert
When firmness is sufficient, rashness is unnecessary.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done.
Lauren, Ralph
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
Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.
Lombardi, Vince
Those that rule must hear and be deaf, must see and be blind.
Proverb, German
Our chief want in life is somebody who will make us do what we can.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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.
We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
Patton, George S.
Right or wrong, the customer is always right.
Field, Marshall
Great leaders understand human behavior rather than the cybernetics of any function.
Schorr, James
Management is nothing more than motivating other people.
Lee Iacocca
When we think we lead we are most led.
Byron, Lord
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
Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.
Schwarzkopf, Norman
When a blind man bears the standard, pity those who follow.
Proverb, French
It is a great pity when the one who should be the head figure is a mere figure head.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon
