No one would have doubted his ability to reign had he never been emperor.
- Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
Leadership Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

2.
Self-regulation will always be a challenge, but if somebody's going to be in charge, it might as well be me.
Daniel Akst

3.
When a customer enters my store, forget me. He is king.
Wanamaker, John

4.
We will make them think it's their idea. That's how all great leaders fool people.
Laura Preble

5.
The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet.
Hesburgh, Theodore M.

6.
Faith in the ability of a leader is of slight service unless it be united with faith in his justice.
George Goethals

7.
The golden rule for every business man is this: Put yourself in your customer's place.
Marden, Orison Swett

8.
Keep cool and you will command everyone.
Justinian

9.
When a blind man bears the standard, pity those who follow.
Proverb, French

10.
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.

11.
Tell a person they are brave and you help them become so.
Carlyle, Thomas

12.
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.

13.
He who dreads hostility too much is unfit to rule.
Seneca

14.
The real leader has no need to lead -- he is content to point the way.
Miller, Henry

15.
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

16.
Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

17.
Leadership is not magnetic personality--that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not making friends and influencing people --that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person's vision to higher sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.
Drucker, Peter F.

18.
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.

19.
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!

20.
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

21.
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

22.
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.

23.
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

24.
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

25.
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

26.
It's important for the explorer to be willing to be led astray.
Oech, Roger Von

27.
Reason and judgment are the qualities of a leader.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

28.
Popularity is not leadership.
Marcinko, Richard

29.
There is great force hidden in a gentle command.
Herbert, George

30.
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

31.
I am a leader by default, only because nature does not allow a vacuum.
Tutu, Bishop Desmond

32.
The well being of the people is the supreme law.

33.
It is a terrible thing to look over your shoulder when you are trying to lead -- and find no one there.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

34.
Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple, and it is also that difficult.
Bennis, Warren

35.
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

36.
Leadership is the activity of influencing people to cooperate towards some goal which they come to find desirable and which motivates them over the long haul.
Tead, Orway

37.
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

38.
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

39.
We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
Patton, George S.

40.
No one would have doubted his ability to reign had he never been emperor.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

41.
Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.
Ford, Henry

42.
The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such.
Maurois, Andre

43.
Leaders don't inflict pain -- they share pain.
Depree, Max

44.
Men are lead by trifles.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

45.
I've always found that the speed of the boss is the speed of the team.
Iacocca, Lee

46.
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.

47.
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

48.
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.
Jung, Carl

49.
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

50.
A leader who doesn't hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.
Meir, Golda
