Leadership

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
Leadership Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
When a customer enters my store, forget me. He is king.
Wanamaker, John

2.
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

3.
He is the richest man who enriches his country most; in whom the people feel richest and proudest; who gives himself with his money; who opens the doors of opportunity widest to those about him; who is ears to the deaf; eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame. Such a man makes every acre of land in his community worth more, and makes richer every man who lives near him.
Marden, Orison Swett

4.
I was not the lion, but it fell to me to give the lion's roar.
Churchill, Winston

5.
A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done.
Lauren, Ralph

6.
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

7.
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

8.
When we think we lead we are most led.
Byron, Lord

9.
A leader who doesn't hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.
Meir, Golda

10.
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

11.
Leaders are readers.
Jones, Charles ''Tremendous''

12.
The person who has no enemies has no followers.
Piatt, Don

13.
Leadership must be established from the top down.
Nunn, Sam

14.
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

15.
The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.
Rohn, Jim

16.
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

17.
Public sentiment is everything, with it nothing can fail, without it nothing can succeed.
Lincoln, Abraham

18.
He who dreads hostility too much is unfit to rule.
Seneca

19.
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

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.
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

22.
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

23.
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.
Maxwell, John C.

24.
I must follow the people. Am I not their leader?
Disraeli, Benjamin

25.
We will make them think it's their idea. That's how all great leaders fool people.
Laura Preble

26.
I am a leader by default, only because nature does not allow a vacuum.
Tutu, Bishop Desmond

27.
Some men must follow, and some command, though all are made of clay.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

28.
Eagles don't flock, you have to find them one at a time.
Perot, H. Ross

29.
Every private in the French army carries a Field Marshall wand in his knapsack.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

30.
The first thing a great person does, is make us realize the insignificance of circumstance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

31.
The wealth of kings is in the affections of their subjects.
Motto

32.
A prince should be slow to punish, and quick to reward.
Ovid

33.
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

34.
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

35.
There are many elements to a campaign. Leadership is number one. Everything else is number two.
Brecht, Bertolt

36.
Outstanding leaders appeal to the hearts of their followers -- not their minds.

37.
When the leadership is right and the time is right, the people can always be counted upon to follow -- to the end at all costs.
Seymour, Harold J.

38.
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.

39.
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!

40.
Men are lead by trifles.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

41.
Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

42.
A leader is best when people barely know he exists, not so good when people obey and acclaim him, worse when they despise him. But of a good leader who talks little when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: We did it ourselves.
Lao-Tzu

43.
If you lead the people with correctness, who will dare not be correct?
Confucius

44.
Leaders must invoke an alchemy of great vision.
Kissinger, Henry

45.
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

46.
Blessed are the people whose leaders can look destiny in the eye without flinching but also without attempting to play God.
Kissinger, Henry

47.
The first task of a leader is to keep hope alive.
Batten, Joe

48.
The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such.
Maurois, Andre

49.
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.

50.
We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
Patton, George S.
