Leadership Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
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

2.
Each person must decide for himself what he wants each day. As a leader, I will expose you to the options and the likely consequences of those options. I'll even share my opinion if asked, but I'll never confuse it with the opinion, which simply doesn't exist.
Dyer, Wayne

3.
Show me the leader and I will know his men. Show me the men and I will know their leader.
Newcomb, Arthur W.

4.
The nation will find it very hard to look up to the leaders who are keeping their ears to the ground.
Churchill, Winston

5.
Some men must follow, and some command, though all are made of clay.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

6.
Management is about arranging and telling. Leadership is about nurturing and enhancing.
Peters, Thomas J.

7.
It is a characteristic of all movements and crusades that the psychopathic element rises to the top.
Lindner, Robert

8.
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

9.
Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple, and it is also that difficult.
Bennis, Warren

10.
A prince should be slow to punish, and quick to reward.
Ovid

11.
The first duty of a leader is to make himself be loved without courting love. To be loved without'playing up'to anyone - even to himself.
Andre Malraux

12.
There is great force hidden in a gentle command.
Herbert, George

13.
The best leaders... almost without exception and at every level, are master users of stories and symbols.
Peters, Thomas J.

14.
Tell a person they are brave and you help them become so.
Carlyle, Thomas

15.
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.

16.
Wise leaders generally have wise counselors because it takes a wise person themselves to distinguish them.
Diogenes of Sinope

17.
Public sentiment is everything, with it nothing can fail, without it nothing can succeed.
Lincoln, Abraham

18.
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

19.
The well being of the people is the supreme law.

20.
Reason and judgment are the qualities of a leader.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

21.
The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.
Rohn, Jim

22.
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

23.
Every ruler is harsh whose laws are new.
Aeschylus

24.
No affection and a great brain, these are the people to command the world.
Disraeli, Benjamin

25.
Delegating work works, provided the one delegating works, too.
Half, Robert

26.
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

27.
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

28.
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.
Maxwell, John C.

29.
The crowd gives the leader new strength.
Evenius

30.
When the best leader's work is done the people say, We did it ourselves.
Lao-Tzu

31.
Leadership appears to be the art of getting others to want to do something you are convinced should be done.
Packard, Vance

32.
The first task of a leader is to keep hope alive.
Batten, Joe

33.
So much of what we call management consists in making it difficult for people to work.
Peter Drucker

34.
You cannot antagonize and influence at the same time.
Knox, John

35.
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

36.
When a blind man bears the standard, pity those who follow.
Proverb, French

37.
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

38.
Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.
John F. Kennedy

39.
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

40.
The person who has no enemies has no followers.
Piatt, Don

41.
A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn't go by yourself.
Barker, Joel A.

42.
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.

43.
Leaders don't inflict pain -- they share pain.
Depree, Max

44.
Those who can command themselves command others.
Hazlitt, William

45.
A good leader needs to have a compass in his head and a bar of steel in his heart.
Townsend, Robert

46.
Leadership is the other side of the coin of loneliness, and he who is a leader must always act alone. And acting alone, accept everything alone.
Marcos, Ferdinand E.

47.
The real leader has no need to lead -- he is content to point the way.
Miller, Henry

48.
That is no use at all. What I want is men who will support me when I am in the wrong.
Melbourne, Lord

49.
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

50.
Popularity is not leadership.
Marcinko, Richard
