Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
A leader is someone who helps improve the lives of other people or improve the system they live under.
Ervin, Sam

2.
I was not the lion, but it fell to me to give the lion's roar.
Churchill, Winston

3.
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!

4.
Leadership involves finding a parade and getting in front of it.
Naisbitt, John

5.
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

6.
The world cannot be governed without juggling.
Selden, John

7.
Self-regulation will always be a challenge, but if somebody's going to be in charge, it might as well be me.
Daniel Akst

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

9.
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.

10.
Tell a person they are brave and you help them become so.
Carlyle, Thomas

11.
He who dreads hostility too much is unfit to rule.
Seneca

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

14.
All business success rests on something labeled a sale, which at least momentarily weds company and customer.
Peters, Thomas J.

15.
There are many elements to a campaign. Leadership is number one. Everything else is number two.
Brecht, Bertolt

16.
The measure of a great leader, is their success in bringing everyone around to their opinion twenty years later.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

17.
Leadership appears to be the art of getting others to want to do something you are convinced should be done.
Packard, Vance

18.
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

19.
A crown, golden in show is but a wreath of thorns.
Milton, John

20.
Some men must follow, and some command, though all are made of clay.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

21.
Right or wrong, the customer is always right.
Field, Marshall

22.
The first thing a great person does, is make us realize the insignificance of circumstance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

23.
Anyone can steer the ship when the sea is calm.
Syrus, Publilius

24.
Popularity is not leadership.
Marcinko, Richard

25.
The well being of the people is the supreme law.

26.
Don't tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results.
Patton, George S.

27.
When the leadership is right and the time is right, the people can always be counted upon to follow -- to the end at all costs.
Seymour, Harold J.

28.
It is time for a new generation of leadership, to cope with new problems and new opportunities. For there is a new world to be won.
Kennedy, John F.

29.
Leadership is like the old galley ships. 100s are rowing, but only one (the captain) knows where they are going

30.
Leaders must invoke an alchemy of great vision.
Kissinger, Henry

31.
It is a terrible thing to look over your shoulder when you are trying to lead -- and find no one there.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

32.
The right man comes at the right time.
Proverb, Italian

33.
To lead people walk behind them.
Lao-Tzu

34.
The crowd gives the leader new strength.
Evenius

35.
Leadership must be established from the top down.
Nunn, Sam

36.
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.

37.
A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn't go by yourself.
Barker, Joel A.

38.
The nation will find it very hard to look up to the leaders who are keeping their ears to the ground.
Churchill, Winston

39.
Leadership is the wise use of power. Power is the capacity to translate intention into reality and sustain it.
Bennis, Warren

40.
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

41.
No affection and a great brain, these are the people to command the world.
Disraeli, Benjamin

42.
It is the Vague and Elusive. Meet it and you will not see its head. Follow it and you will not see its back.
Lao-Tzu

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.
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

45.
Leadership is a serving relationship that has the effect of facilitating human development.
Ward, Ted

46.
The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such.
Maurois, Andre

47.
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

48.
True leadership must be for the benefit of the followers, not the enrichment of the leaders.
Townsend, Robert

49.
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.

50.
I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
Gandhi, Mahatma
