Leadership Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
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

2.
The speed of the leader determines the rate of the pack.
Lukas, Wayne

3.
'Tis a dainty thing to command, though 'twere but a flock of sheep.
Cervantes, Miguel De

4.
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.

5.
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

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

7.
There is no necessary connection between the desire to lead and the ability to lead, and even less the ability to lead somewhere that will be to the advantage of the led
Evans, Bergen

8.
Justice is the first virtue of those who command, and stops the complaints of those who obey.
Diderot, Denis

9.
Wise leaders generally have wise counselors because it takes a wise person themselves to distinguish them.
Diogenes of Sinope

10.
Management is nothing more than motivating other people.
Lee Iacocca

11.
Leadership is a matter of having people look at you and gain confidence, seeing how you react. If you're in control, they're in control.
Landry, Tom

12.
Every private in the French army carries a Field Marshall wand in his knapsack.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

13.
Doing what's right isn't the problem. It is knowing what's right.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

14.
The golden rule for every business man is this: Put yourself in your customer's place.
Marden, Orison Swett

15.
The best leaders... almost without exception and at every level, are master users of stories and symbols.
Peters, Thomas J.

16.
He who dreads hostility too much is unfit to rule.
Seneca

17.
You can lead a whore to culture but you can't make her think.
Parker, Dorothy

18.
Do what is right, not what you think the high headquarters wants or what you think will make you look good.
Schwarzkopf, Norman

19.
Great leaders understand human behavior rather than the cybernetics of any function.
Schorr, James

20.
Eagles don't flock, you have to find them one at a time.
Perot, H. Ross

21.
I must follow the people. Am I not their leader?
Disraeli, Benjamin

22.
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

23.
Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to, you'd better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony. And they can tell when you're not giving it all you've got. Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved. It's being able to take it as well as dish it out. That's the only way you're going to get respect from the players.
Bird, Larry

24.
Do your best to be the lead dog otherwise the view never changes.

25.
When we think we lead we are most led.
Byron, Lord

26.
Leadership must be established from the top down.
Nunn, Sam

27.
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

28.
Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.
Schwarzkopf, Norman

29.
Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple, and it is also that difficult.
Bennis, Warren

30.
The successful man doesn't use others, other people use the successful man, for above all the success is of service.
Caine, Mark

31.
Every ruler is harsh whose laws are new.
Aeschylus

32.
No one would have doubted his ability to reign had he never been emperor.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

33.
When firmness is sufficient, rashness is unnecessary.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

34.
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

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.
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

37.
Men shrink less from offending one who inspires love than one who inspires fear.
Machiavelli, Niccolo

38.
The wealth of kings is in the affections of their subjects.
Motto

39.
Pull the string, and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

40.
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.

41.
Our chief want in life is somebody who will make us do what we can.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

42.
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.

43.
Those that rule must hear and be deaf, must see and be blind.
Proverb, German

44.
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.

45.
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

46.
Impatience is the cause of most of our irregularities and extravagances Command by obeying.
Motto

47.
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

48.
The well being of the people is the supreme law.

49.
The nation will find it very hard to look up to the leaders who are keeping their ears to the ground.
Churchill, Winston

50.
Leadership is like the old galley ships. 100s are rowing, but only one (the captain) knows where they are going
