Leadership Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
Leadership is an opportunity to serve. It is not a trumpet call to self-importance.
Walters, J. Donald

2.
Leadership must be established from the top down.
Nunn, Sam

3.
Leaders are readers.
Jones, Charles ''Tremendous''

4.
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

5.
When the best leader's work is done the people say, We did it ourselves.
Lao-Tzu

6.
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

7.
If you have fear of those that command you, spare those that obey you.
Azai, Rabbi Ben

8.
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

9.
The first task of a leader is to keep hope alive.
Batten, Joe

10.
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

11.
Leaders don't inflict pain -- they share pain.
Depree, Max

12.
A good leader needs to have a compass in his head and a bar of steel in his heart.
Townsend, Robert

13.
Great leaders understand human behavior rather than the cybernetics of any function.
Schorr, James

14.
Leadership is action, not position.
Mcgannon, Donald H.

15.
Every private in the French army carries a Field Marshall wand in his knapsack.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

16.
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

17.
Right or wrong, the customer is always right.
Field, Marshall

18.
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

19.
Popularity is not leadership.
Marcinko, Richard

20.
The shepherd always tries to persuade the sheep that their interests and his own are the same.
Stendhal, Henri B.

21.
Delegating work works, provided the one delegating works, too.
Half, Robert

22.
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

23.
Leadership is like the old galley ships. 100s are rowing, but only one (the captain) knows where they are going

24.
The successful man doesn't use others, other people use the successful man, for above all the success is of service.
Caine, Mark

25.
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.

26.
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.

27.
Wise leaders generally have wise counselors because it takes a wise person themselves to distinguish them.
Diogenes of Sinope

28.
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

29.
The highest of distinctions is service to others.
King George VI

30.
The world of the 90s and beyond will belong to managers or those who make the numbers dance, as we used to say, or those who are conversant with all the business jargon we used to sound smart. The world will belong to passionate, driven leaders -- people who not only have an enormous amount of energy but who can energize those whom they lead.
Welch, John

31.
The golden rule for every business man is this: Put yourself in your customer's place.
Marden, Orison Swett

32.
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

33.
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

34.
Who has not served cannot command.
Florio, John

35.
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.

36.
Impatience is the cause of most of our irregularities and extravagances Command by obeying.
Motto

37.
When a customer enters my store, forget me. He is king.
Wanamaker, John

38.
Management is nothing more than motivating other people.
Lee Iacocca

39.
The high sentiments always win in the end, the leaders who offer blood, toil, tears, and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.
Orwell, George

40.
Eagles don't flock, you have to find them one at a time.
Perot, H. Ross

41.
The wealth of kings is in the affections of their subjects.
Motto

42.
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

43.
Faith in the ability of a leader is of slight service unless it be united with faith in his justice.
George Goethals

44.
The crowd gives the leader new strength.
Evenius

45.
If I advance, follow me! If I retreat, kill me! If I die, avenge me!
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

46.
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

47.
Anyone can steer the ship when the sea is calm.
Syrus, Publilius

48.
Our chief want in life is somebody who will make us do what we can.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

49.
Justice is the first virtue of those who command, and stops the complaints of those who obey.
Diderot, Denis

50.
I learned that a great leader is a man who has the ability to get other people to do what they don't want to do and like it.
Truman, Harry S
