Leadership

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

Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
Popularity is not leadership.
Marcinko, Richard

2.
Ethics must begin at the top of an organization. It is a leadership issue and the chief executive must set the example.
Hennessy, Edward

3.
An army of deer would be more formidable commanded by a lion, than an army of lions commanded by a stag.
Proverb

4.
It is a characteristic of all movements and crusades that the psychopathic element rises to the top.
Lindner, Robert

5.
Do what is right, not what you think the high headquarters wants or what you think will make you look good.
Schwarzkopf, Norman

6.
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!

7.
A leader who doesn't hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.
Meir, Golda

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

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

Leaders must invoke an alchemy of great vision.
Kissinger, Henry

15.
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

16.
I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
Gandhi, Mahatma

17.
Faith in the ability of a leader is of slight service unless it be united with faith in his justice.
George Goethals

18.
No one would have doubted his ability to reign had he never been emperor.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

19.
Leadership involves finding a parade and getting in front of it.
Naisbitt, John

20.
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.

21.
Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.
Schwarzkopf, Norman

22.
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

23.
The best leaders are those most interested in surrounding themselves with assistants and associates smarter than they are. They are frank in admitting this and are willing to pay for such talents.
Parrish, Amos

24.
Who has not served cannot command.
Florio, John

25.
The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet.
Hesburgh, Theodore M.

26.
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.

27.
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.

28.
Every private in the French army carries a Field Marshall wand in his knapsack.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

29.
When a customer enters my store, forget me. He is king.
Wanamaker, John

30.
The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on. The genius of a good leader is to leave behind him a situation which common sense, without the grace of genius, can deal with successfully.
Lippmann, Walter

31.
That is no use at all. What I want is men who will support me when I am in the wrong.
Melbourne, Lord

32.
I'm their leader, I've got to follow them.
Ledru-Rollin, Alexandre

33.
You do not lead by hitting people over the head -- that's assault, not leadership.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

34.
Outstanding leaders appeal to the hearts of their followers -- not their minds.

35.
Perhaps in His wisdom the Almighty is trying to show us that a leader may chart the way, may point out the road to lasting peace, but that many leaders and many peoples must do the building.
Roosevelt, Eleanor

36.
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.

37.
Education is the mother of leadership.
Willkie, Wendell L.

38.
To lead people walk behind them.
Lao-Tzu

39.
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.

40.
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.

41.
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

42.
Some men must follow, and some command, though all are made of clay.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

43.
'Tis a dainty thing to command, though 'twere but a flock of sheep.
Cervantes, Miguel De

44.
Morale is faith in the man at the top.
Johnston, Albert Sidney

45.
The best leaders... almost without exception and at every level, are master users of stories and symbols.
Peters, Thomas J.

46.
A crown, golden in show is but a wreath of thorns.
Milton, John

47.
Ronald Reagan has held the two most demeaning jobs in the country; President of the United States and radio broadcaster for the Chicago Cubs.
Will, George F.

48.
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

49.
There is great force hidden in a gentle command.
Herbert, George

50.
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.
