Motivational Quotes
Leadership
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!
Best Quotes about Leadership
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
Self-regulation will always be a challenge, but if somebody's going to be in charge, it might as well be me.
Daniel Akst
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
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.
So much of what we call management consists in making it difficult for people to work.
Peter Drucker
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
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
The first thing a great person does, is make us realize the insignificance of circumstance.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The nation will find it very hard to look up to the leaders who are keeping their ears to the ground.
Churchill, Winston
He who dreads hostility too much is unfit to rule.
Seneca
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.
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
The shepherd always tries to persuade the sheep that their interests and his own are the same.
Stendhal, Henri B.
The person who has no enemies has no followers.
Piatt, Don
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
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
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
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
The leader seeks to communicate his vision to his followers. He captures their attention with his optimistic intuition of possible solutions to their needs. He influences them by the dynamism of his faith. He demonstrates confidence that the challenge can be met, the need resolved, the crisis overcome.
Haggai, John
Leaders don't inflict pain -- they share pain.
Depree, Max
Blessed is he who has learned to admire but not envy, to follow but not imitate, to praise but not flatter, and to lead but not manipulate.
Ward, William A.
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
Each person must decide for himself what he wants each day. As a leader, I will expose you to the options and the likely consequences of those options. I'll even share my opinion if asked, but I'll never confuse it with the opinion, which simply doesn't exist.
Dyer, Wayne
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.
Leadership is action, not position.
Mcgannon, Donald H.
It often happens that I wake up at night and begin to think about a serious problem and decide I must tell the Pope about it. Then I wake up completely and remember that I am the Pope.
Pope John XXIII
Every ruler is harsh whose laws are new.
Aeschylus
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
Leaders are readers.
Jones, Charles ''Tremendous''
Leadership is an opportunity to serve. It is not a trumpet call to self-importance.
Walters, J. Donald
Eagles don't flock, you have to find them one at a time.
Perot, H. Ross
No affection and a great brain, these are the people to command the world.
Disraeli, Benjamin
A leader has been defined as one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
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
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.
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
A leader who doesn't hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.
Meir, Golda
If I advance, follow me! If I retreat, kill me! If I die, avenge me!
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Do your best to be the lead dog otherwise the view never changes.
A good leader needs to have a compass in his head and a bar of steel in his heart.
Townsend, Robert
I am a leader by default, only because nature does not allow a vacuum.
Tutu, Bishop Desmond
Morale is faith in the man at the top.
Johnston, Albert Sidney
It is very comforting to believe that leaders who do terrible things are, in fact, mad. That way, all we have to do is make sure we don't put psychotics in high places and we've got the problem solved.
Wolfe, Thomas
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
An order that can be misunderstood will be misunderstood.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
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
Some men must follow, and some command, though all are made of clay.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
We are reformers in the spring and summer, but in autumn we stand by the old. Reformers in the morning, and conservers at night.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men -- the other 999 follow women.
Marx, Groucho
The measure of a great leader, is their success in bringing everyone around to their opinion twenty years later.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
