Leadership Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
The speed of the leader determines the rate of the pack.
Lukas, Wayne

2.
The best leaders of all, the people know not they exist. They turn to each other and say We did it ourselves.
Saying, Zen

3.
A leader is one who, out of madness or goodness, volunteers to take upon himself the woe of the people. There are few men so foolish, hence the erratic quality of leadership in the world.
Updike, John

4.
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

5.
Search others for their virtue, and yourself for your vices.
Fuller, R. Buckminster

6.
I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
Gandhi, Mahatma

7.
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

8.
The shepherd always tries to persuade the sheep that their interests and his own are the same.
Stendhal, Henri B.

9.
You cannot antagonize and influence at the same time.
Knox, John

10.
Leadership is action, not position.
Mcgannon, Donald H.

11.
There are many elements to a campaign. Leadership is number one. Everything else is number two.
Brecht, Bertolt

12.
Do what is right, not what you think the high headquarters wants or what you think will make you look good.
Schwarzkopf, Norman

13.
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.
Maxwell, John C.

14.
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

15.
The measure of a great leader, is their success in bringing everyone around to their opinion twenty years later.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

16.
Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.
Schwarzkopf, Norman

17.
If I advance, follow me! If I retreat, kill me! If I die, avenge me!
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

18.
If you want to be comfortable -- take an easy job. If you aspire to leadership, take off your coat.

19.
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.

20.
No one would have doubted his ability to reign had he never been emperor.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

21.
The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such.
Maurois, Andre

22.
Napoleon affords us an example of the danger of elevating one's self to the absolute, and sacrificing everything to the carrying out of an idea.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

23.
Leadership is a serving relationship that has the effect of facilitating human development.
Ward, Ted

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

25.
Leadership is the challenge to be something more than average.
Rohn, Jim

26.
A leader who doesn't hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.
Meir, Golda

27.
I must follow the people. Am I not their leader?
Disraeli, Benjamin

28.
Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility.
Augustine, St.

29.
Ethics must begin at the top of an organization. It is a leadership issue and the chief executive must set the example.
Hennessy, Edward

30.
The manager administers; the leader innovates. The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective. The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why. The manager has his eye on the bottom line; the leader has his eye on the horizon. The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.
Bennis, Warren

31.
Men shrink less from offending one who inspires love than one who inspires fear.
Machiavelli, Niccolo

32.
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.

33.
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

34.
A leader has been defined as one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

35.
Who has not served cannot command.
Florio, John

36.
Justice is the first virtue of those who command, and stops the complaints of those who obey.
Diderot, Denis

37.
Leaders don't inflict pain -- they share pain.
Depree, Max

38.
Education is the mother of leadership.
Willkie, Wendell L.

39.
Efficiency tends to deal with Things. Effectiveness tends to deal with People. We manage things, we lead people

40.
When placed in command -- take charge.
Schwarzkopf, Norman

41.
The best leaders... almost without exception and at every level, are master users of stories and symbols.
Peters, Thomas J.

42.
Public sentiment is everything, with it nothing can fail, without it nothing can succeed.
Lincoln, Abraham

43.
The wealth of kings is in the affections of their subjects.
Motto

44.
There is great force hidden in a gentle command.
Herbert, George

45.
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

46.
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.

47.
It is a great pity when the one who should be the head figure is a mere figure head.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon

48.
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

49.
Blessed are the people whose leaders can look destiny in the eye without flinching but also without attempting to play God.
Kissinger, Henry

50.
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
