Motivational Quotes
Leadership
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.
Best Quotes about Leadership
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
You cannot antagonize and influence at the same time.
Knox, John
To lead people walk behind them.
Lao-Tzu
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.
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
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.
Those who can command themselves command others.
Hazlitt, William
He is the richest man who enriches his country most; in whom the people feel richest and proudest; who gives himself with his money; who opens the doors of opportunity widest to those about him; who is ears to the deaf; eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame. Such a man makes every acre of land in his community worth more, and makes richer every man who lives near him.
Marden, Orison Swett
Delegating work works, provided the one delegating works, too.
Half, Robert
All business success rests on something labeled a sale, which at least momentarily weds company and customer.
Peters, Thomas J.
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
The nation will find it very hard to look up to the leaders who are keeping their ears to the ground.
Churchill, Winston
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
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.
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
Ethics must begin at the top of an organization. It is a leadership issue and the chief executive must set the example.
Hennessy, Edward
Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.
Ford, Henry
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
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
Leadership involves finding a parade and getting in front of it.
Naisbitt, John
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
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!
Outstanding leaders appeal to the hearts of their followers -- not their minds.
A prince should be slow to punish, and quick to reward.
Ovid
'Tis a dainty thing to command, though 'twere but a flock of sheep.
Cervantes, Miguel De
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
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
Leaders must invoke an alchemy of great vision.
Kissinger, Henry
Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.
Lombardi, Vince
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
Every ruler is harsh whose laws are new.
Aeschylus
Anyone can steer the ship when the sea is calm.
Syrus, Publilius
Leaders don't inflict pain -- they share pain.
Depree, Max
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
Management is nothing more than motivating other people.
Lee Iacocca
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.
Maxwell, John C.
When firmness is sufficient, rashness is unnecessary.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
I must follow the people. Am I not their leader?
Disraeli, Benjamin
Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.
Schwarzkopf, Norman
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
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
If you want to be comfortable -- take an easy job. If you aspire to leadership, take off your coat.
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
I've always found that the speed of the boss is the speed of the team.
Iacocca, Lee
It is a great pity when the one who should be the head figure is a mere figure head.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon
Six traits of effective leaders: 1. Make others feel important 2. Promote a vision 3. Follow the golden rule 4. Admit mistakes 5. Criticize others only in private 6. Stay close to the action Example has more followers than reason. We unconsciously imitate what pleases us, and approximate to the characters we most admire.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
We will make them think it's their idea. That's how all great leaders fool people.
Laura Preble
Men shrink less from offending one who inspires love than one who inspires fear.
Machiavelli, Niccolo
A leader is someone who helps improve the lives of other people or improve the system they live under.
Ervin, Sam
