Great leadership usually starts with a willing heart, a positive attitude, and a desire to make a difference.
Average leaders raise the bar on themselves; good leaders raise the bar for others; great leaders inspire others to raise their own bar.
Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration-of oneself and of others. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes. Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine.
The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.
Good leaders don't tell people what to do, they give teams capability and inspiration.
The leaders who get the most out of their people are the leaders who care most about their people.
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.
No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.
A real leader uses every issue, no matter how serious and sensitive, to ensure that at the end of the debate we should emerge stronger and more united than ever before.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.
The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.
Real leadership is leaders recognizing that they serve the people that they lead.
The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality.
A leader. . .is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.
Leadership is not a license to do less. Leadership is a responsibility to do more
Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.
He who cannot be a good follower cannot be a good leader.
The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.
Managers help people see themselves as they are; Leaders help people to see themselves better than they are.
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!
People imitate their leader. Lead by example.
Leadership is hard to define and good leadership even harder. But if you can get people to follow you to the ends of the earth, you are a great leader.
How do you know you have won? When the energy is coming the other way and when your people are visibly growing individually and as a group.
In times of change, learners inherit the earth
A good leader leads from the front. Don't get stuck in the office. Get out, meet people and listen to their stories.
