Leadership Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
The best leaders... almost without exception and at every level, are master users of stories and symbols.
Peters, Thomas J.

2.
To be a leader, you have to make people want to follow you, and nobody wants to follow someone who doesn't know where he is going.
Namath, Joe

3.
All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

4.
Self-regulation will always be a challenge, but if somebody's going to be in charge, it might as well be me.
Daniel Akst

5.
A leader knows what's best to do; a manager knows merely how best to do it.
Adelman, Ken

6.
He who dreads hostility too much is unfit to rule.
Seneca

7.
Impatience is the cause of most of our irregularities and extravagances Command by obeying.
Motto

8.
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.

9.
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

10.
Popularity is not leadership.
Marcinko, Richard

11.
A prince should be slow to punish, and quick to reward.
Ovid

12.
Anyone can steer the ship when the sea is calm.
Syrus, Publilius

13.
Leadership is a serving relationship that has the effect of facilitating human development.
Ward, Ted

14.
The highest of distinctions is service to others.
King George VI

15.
'Tis a dainty thing to command, though 'twere but a flock of sheep.
Cervantes, Miguel De

16.
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

17.
When placed in command -- take charge.
Schwarzkopf, Norman

18.
Great leaders understand human behavior rather than the cybernetics of any function.
Schorr, James

19.
It often happens that I wake up at night and begin to think about a serious problem and decide I must tell the Pope about it. Then I wake up completely and remember that I am the Pope.
Pope John XXIII

20.
Faith in the ability of a leader is of slight service unless it be united with faith in his justice.
George Goethals

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 manager administers; the leader innovates. The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective. The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why. The manager has his eye on the bottom line; the leader has his eye on the horizon. The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.
Bennis, Warren

23.
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

24.
The person who renders loyal service in a humble capacity will be chosen for higher responsibilities, just as the biblical servant who multiplied the one pound given him by his master was made ruler over ten cities...
Forbes, B. C.

25.
No affection and a great brain, these are the people to command the world.
Disraeli, Benjamin

26.
The shepherd always tries to persuade the sheep that their interests and his own are the same.
Stendhal, Henri B.

27.
A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit.
Glasgow, Arnold H.

28.
A boss creates fear, a leader confidence. A boss fixes blame, a leader corrects mistakes. A boss knows all, a leader asks questions. A boss makes work drudgery, a leader makes it interesting. A boss is interested in himself or herself, a leader is interested in the group.
Ewing, Russell H.

29.
Wise leaders generally have wise counselors because it takes a wise person themselves to distinguish them.
Diogenes of Sinope

30.
Blessed are the people whose leaders can look destiny in the eye without flinching but also without attempting to play God.
Kissinger, Henry

31.
Management is about arranging and telling. Leadership is about nurturing and enhancing.
Peters, Thomas J.

32.
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.
Maxwell, John C.

33.
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

34.
Leaders are readers.
Jones, Charles ''Tremendous''

35.
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

36.
If you lead the people with correctness, who will dare not be correct?
Confucius

37.
You cannot antagonize and influence at the same time.
Knox, John

38.
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.

39.
It is a great pity when the one who should be the head figure is a mere figure head.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon

40.
Doing what's right isn't the problem. It is knowing what's right.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

41.
That is no use at all. What I want is men who will support me when I am in the wrong.
Melbourne, Lord

42.
The leader can never close the gap between himself and the group. If he does, he is no longer what he must be. He must walk a tightrope between the consent he must win and the control he must exert.
Lombardi, Vince

43.
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

44.
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

45.
When firmness is sufficient, rashness is unnecessary.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

46.
If I advance, follow me! If I retreat, kill me! If I die, avenge me!
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

47.
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

48.
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.

49.
Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.
Schwarzkopf, Norman

50.
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
