Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
If you have fear of those that command you, spare those that obey you.
Azai, Rabbi Ben

2.
Don't tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results.
Patton, George S.

3.
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.

4.
Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.
John F. Kennedy

5.
We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
Patton, George S.

6.
To lead people walk behind them.
Lao-Tzu

7.
A leader is one who, out of madness or goodness, volunteers to take upon himself the woe of the people. There are few men so foolish, hence the erratic quality of leadership in the world.
Updike, John

8.
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.

9.
Outstanding leaders go out of the way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it's amazing what they can accomplish.
Walton, Sam

10.
We will make them think it's their idea. That's how all great leaders fool people.
Laura Preble

11.
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

12.
When we think we lead we are most led.
Byron, Lord

13.
Skill in the art of communication is crucial to a leader's success. He can accomplish nothing unless he can communicate effectively.
Allen, Norman

14.
The wealth of kings is in the affections of their subjects.
Motto

15.
It's important for the explorer to be willing to be led astray.
Oech, Roger Von

16.
Management is about arranging and telling. Leadership is about nurturing and enhancing.
Peters, Thomas J.

17.
The right man comes at the right time.
Proverb, Italian

18.
Leadership is like the old galley ships. 100s are rowing, but only one (the captain) knows where they are going

19.
I was not the lion, but it fell to me to give the lion's roar.
Churchill, Winston

20.
Men are lead by trifles.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

21.
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

22.
Education is the mother of leadership.
Willkie, Wendell L.

23.
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

24.
The speed of the leader determines the rate of the pack.
Lukas, Wayne

25.
Those that rule must hear and be deaf, must see and be blind.
Proverb, German

26.
Eagles don't flock, you have to find them one at a time.
Perot, H. Ross

27.
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

28.
The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet.
Hesburgh, Theodore M.

29.
A crown, golden in show is but a wreath of thorns.
Milton, John

30.
The wicked leader is he who the people despise. The good leader is he who the people revere. The great leader is he who the people say, We did it ourselves.
Lao-Tzu

31.
Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.
Ford, Henry

32.
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

33.
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

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.
Blessed are the people whose leaders can look destiny in the eye without flinching but also without attempting to play God.
Kissinger, Henry

36.
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.

37.
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

38.
Do what is right, not what you think the high headquarters wants or what you think will make you look good.
Schwarzkopf, Norman

39.
When a blind man bears the standard, pity those who follow.
Proverb, French

40.
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

41.
You can lead a whore to culture but you can't make her think.
Parker, Dorothy

42.
The leader seeks to communicate his vision to his followers. He captures their attention with his optimistic intuition of possible solutions to their needs. He influences them by the dynamism of his faith. He demonstrates confidence that the challenge can be met, the need resolved, the crisis overcome.
Haggai, John

43.
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

44.
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

45.
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

46.
Show me the leader and I will know his men. Show me the men and I will know their leader.
Newcomb, Arthur W.

47.
A leader is someone who helps improve the lives of other people or improve the system they live under.
Ervin, Sam

48.
We are reformers in the spring and summer, but in autumn we stand by the old. Reformers in the morning, and conservers at night.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

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.
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
