Leadership Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
No one would have doubted his ability to reign had he never been emperor.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

2.
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.

3.
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.

4.
There are many elements to a campaign. Leadership is number one. Everything else is number two.
Brecht, Bertolt

5.
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.
Maxwell, John C.

6.
Leadership is the challenge to be something more than average.
Rohn, Jim

7.
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

8.
Certainly a leader needs a clear vision of the organization and where it is going, but a vision is of little value unless it is shared in a way so as to generate enthusiasm and commitment. Leadership and communication are inseparable.
Taylor, Claude

9.
Public sentiment is everything, with it nothing can fail, without it nothing can succeed.
Lincoln, Abraham

10.
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.

11.
The speed of the leader determines the rate of the pack.
Lukas, Wayne

12.
In the great mass of our people there are plenty individuals of intelligence from among whom leadership can be recruited.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

13.
When a customer enters my store, forget me. He is king.
Wanamaker, John

14.
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

15.
I don't believe in just ordering people to do things. You have to sort of grab an oar and row with them.
Geneen, Harold S.

16.
'Tis a dainty thing to command, though 'twere but a flock of sheep.
Cervantes, Miguel De

17.
The minute a person whose word means a great deal to others dare to take the open-hearted and courageous way, many others follow.
Anderson, Marian

18.
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

19.
Leadership involves finding a parade and getting in front of it.
Naisbitt, John

20.
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

21.
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.

22.
It is a terrible thing to look over your shoulder when you are trying to lead -- and find no one there.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

23.
The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on. The genius of a good leader is to leave behind him a situation which common sense, without the grace of genius, can deal with successfully.
Lippmann, Walter

24.
The nation will find it very hard to look up to the leaders who are keeping their ears to the ground.
Churchill, Winston

25.
A crown, golden in show is but a wreath of thorns.
Milton, John

26.
Those who can command themselves command others.
Hazlitt, William

27.
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.

28.
No man has ever risen to the real stature of spiritual manhood until he has found that it is finer to serve somebody else than it is to serve himself.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

29.
The person who has no enemies has no followers.
Piatt, Don

30.
I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
Gandhi, Mahatma

31.
Leadership must be established from the top down.
Nunn, Sam

32.
When the best leader's work is done the people say, We did it ourselves.
Lao-Tzu

33.
You cannot antagonize and influence at the same time.
Knox, John

34.
Efficiency tends to deal with Things. Effectiveness tends to deal with People. We manage things, we lead people

35.
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

36.
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

37.
Every leader needs to look back once in a while to make sure he has followers. Source Unknown Effective leaders are known by the questions they ask rather than the statements they make.

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

39.
Leaders don't inflict pain -- they share pain.
Depree, Max

40.
Popularity is not leadership.
Marcinko, Richard

41.
Management is nothing more than motivating other people.
Lee Iacocca

42.
Show me the leader and I will know his men. Show me the men and I will know their leader.
Newcomb, Arthur W.

43.
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

44.
Leaders are readers.
Jones, Charles ''Tremendous''

45.
I must follow the people. Am I not their leader?
Disraeli, Benjamin

46.
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

47.
Justice is the first virtue of those who command, and stops the complaints of those who obey.
Diderot, Denis

48.
Tell a person they are brave and you help them become so.
Carlyle, Thomas

49.
We will make them think it's their idea. That's how all great leaders fool people.
Laura Preble

50.
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
