Leadership Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
Education is the mother of leadership.
Willkie, Wendell L.

2.
Keep cool and you will command everyone.
Justinian

3.
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

4.
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.

5.
The golden rule for every business man is this: Put yourself in your customer's place.
Marden, Orison Swett

6.
The first thing a great person does, is make us realize the insignificance of circumstance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

7.
I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
Gandhi, Mahatma

8.
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

9.
You cannot antagonize and influence at the same time.
Knox, John

10.
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

11.
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

12.
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

13.
Wise leaders generally have wise counselors because it takes a wise person themselves to distinguish them.
Diogenes of Sinope

14.
Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple, and it is also that difficult.
Bennis, Warren

15.
In really good companies, you have to lead. You have to come up with big ideas and express them forcefully. I have always been encouraged -- or sometimes forced -- to confront the very natural fear of being wrong. I was constantly pushed to find out what I really thought and then to speak up. Over time, I came to see that waiting to discover which way the wind was blowing is an excellent way to learn how to be a follower.
Enrico, Roger

16.
Leadership is the challenge to be something more than average.
Rohn, Jim

17.
Managers are people who do things right; leaders are people who do the right thing.
Bennis, Warren

18.
When the best leader's work is done the people say, We did it ourselves.
Lao-Tzu

19.
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

20.
The real leader has no need to lead -- he is content to point the way.
Miller, Henry

21.
Our chief want in life is somebody who will make us do what we can.
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.
Every private in the French army carries a Field Marshall wand in his knapsack.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

24.
If you want to be comfortable -- take an easy job. If you aspire to leadership, take off your coat.

25.
Every ruler is harsh whose laws are new.
Aeschylus

26.
The wealth of kings is in the affections of their subjects.
Motto

27.
When a blind man bears the standard, pity those who follow.
Proverb, French

28.
When a customer enters my store, forget me. He is king.
Wanamaker, John

29.
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

30.
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

31.
Men shrink less from offending one who inspires love than one who inspires fear.
Machiavelli, Niccolo

32.
Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.
Ford, Henry

33.
Men are lead by trifles.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

34.
Search others for their virtue, and yourself for your vices.
Fuller, R. Buckminster

35.
The successful man doesn't use others, other people use the successful man, for above all the success is of service.
Caine, Mark

36.
It's important for the explorer to be willing to be led astray.
Oech, Roger Von

37.
Blessed is he who has learned to admire but not envy, to follow but not imitate, to praise but not flatter, and to lead but not manipulate.
Ward, William A.

38.
When we think we lead we are most led.
Byron, Lord

39.
The right man comes at the right time.
Proverb, Italian

40.
If you lead a country like Britain, a strong country, a country which has taken a lead in world affairs in good times and in bad, a country that is always reliable, then you have to have a touch of iron about you.
Thatcher, Margaret

41.
When placed in command -- take charge.
Schwarzkopf, Norman

42.
The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity as sugar or coffee and I will pay more for that ability than for any other under the sun.
Rockefeller, John D.

43.
You can lead a whore to culture but you can't make her think.
Parker, Dorothy

44.
Faith in the ability of a leader is of slight service unless it be united with faith in his justice.
George Goethals

45.
A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn't go by yourself.
Barker, Joel A.

46.
Public sentiment is everything, with it nothing can fail, without it nothing can succeed.
Lincoln, Abraham

47.
I was not the lion, but it fell to me to give the lion's roar.
Churchill, Winston

48.
A leader who doesn't hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.
Meir, Golda

49.
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.

50.
Leadership has to do with direction. Management has to do with the speed, coordination and logistics in going in that direction. The WORKERS are chopping their way through the jungle. The MANAGERS are coordinating, making sure the tools are sharp, etc. The LEADERS climb a tree and shout Wrong jungle!! The MANAGERS shout back Be quiet! We're making progress!
