Leadership Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
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

2.
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!

3.
Reason and judgment are the qualities of a leader.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

4.
The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such.
Maurois, Andre

5.
The first task of a leader is to keep hope alive.
Batten, Joe

6.
Search others for their virtue, and yourself for your vices.
Fuller, R. Buckminster

7.
The lead dog gets the best view. The rest of the dogs view is butt ugly. Of course, the lead dog is also the first to fall into the ravine.
Saunders, Richard

8.
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

9.
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.

10.
An army of deer would be more formidable commanded by a lion, than an army of lions commanded by a stag.
Proverb

11.
The crowd gives the leader new strength.
Evenius

12.
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

13.
There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.
Machiavelli, Niccolo

14.
The successful man doesn't use others, other people use the successful man, for above all the success is of service.
Caine, Mark

15.
We will make them think it's their idea. That's how all great leaders fool people.
Laura Preble

16.
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.

17.
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.

18.
Self-regulation will always be a challenge, but if somebody's going to be in charge, it might as well be me.
Daniel Akst

19.
A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn't go by yourself.
Barker, Joel A.

20.
If you lead the people with correctness, who will dare not be correct?
Confucius

21.
Our chief want in life is somebody who will make us do what we can.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

22.
Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.
Schwarzkopf, Norman

23.
The real leader has no need to lead -- he is content to point the way.
Miller, Henry

24.
Leadership must be established from the top down.
Nunn, Sam

25.
A prince should be slow to punish, and quick to reward.
Ovid

26.
You do not lead by hitting people over the head -- that's assault, not leadership.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

27.
Every ruler is harsh whose laws are new.
Aeschylus

28.
The first thing a great person does, is make us realize the insignificance of circumstance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

29.
Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men -- the other 999 follow women.
Marx, Groucho

30.
I've always found that the speed of the boss is the speed of the team.
Iacocca, Lee

31.
The wicked leader is he who the people despise. The good leader is he who the people revere. The great leader is he who the people say, We did it ourselves.
Lao-Tzu

32.
Skill in the art of communication is crucial to a leader's success. He can accomplish nothing unless he can communicate effectively.
Allen, Norman

33.
It is a characteristic of all movements and crusades that the psychopathic element rises to the top.
Lindner, Robert

34.
Leadership involves finding a parade and getting in front of it.
Naisbitt, John

35.
To lead people walk behind them.
Lao-Tzu

36.
You cannot antagonize and influence at the same time.
Knox, John

37.
An order that can be misunderstood will be misunderstood.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

38.
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

39.
Doing what's right isn't the problem. It is knowing what's right.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

40.
Leaders don't inflict pain -- they share pain.
Depree, Max

41.
The person who has no enemies has no followers.
Piatt, Don

42.
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

43.
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.

44.
True leadership must be for the benefit of the followers, not the enrichment of the leaders.
Townsend, Robert

45.
'Tis a dainty thing to command, though 'twere but a flock of sheep.
Cervantes, Miguel De

46.
Men are lead by trifles.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

47.
Ronald Reagan has held the two most demeaning jobs in the country; President of the United States and radio broadcaster for the Chicago Cubs.
Will, George F.

48.
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

49.
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

50.
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
