If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.
A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go, but ought to be.
Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.
Leadership is lifting a person's vision to high sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.
A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.
The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.
The building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.
Leadership is defined by results not attributes.
Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.
Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.
Leaders aren't born they are made.
Leaders are not born, they're made.
Become the kind of leader that people would follow voluntarily; even if you had no title or position.
He who has never learned to obey cannot be a good commander.
The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.
Inventories can be managed, but people must be led.
No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.
Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it's amazing what they can accomplish.
Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.
The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet.
