Leadership

Erskine Bowles

Leadership is the key to 99 percent of all successful efforts.

Bill Bradley

Leadership is unlocking people's potential to become better.

Robin S Sharma

Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It's about impact,

influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is

about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire

team-mates and customers.

Robin S Sharma

Basically, to lead without a title is to derive your power within the

organisation not from your position but from your competence, effectiveness, relationships,

excellence, innovation and ethics..

Robin S Sharma

You cannot lead others until you have first learned to lead yourself

John Quincy Adams

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.

J K Rowling

It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership

thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to

their own surprise that they wear it well.”

Ralph W Emerson

“Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we

could be.”

Robert Michaels

“I don't care if you're black, white, straight, bisexual, gay, lesbian, short, tall, fat, skinny, rich or poor. If you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you. Simple

as that.”

Roy T Bennet (The light in the heart)

“7 Effective Ways to Make Others Feel Important 1. Use their name.

2. Express sincere gratitude.3. Do more listening than talking.

4. Talk more about them than about you.5. Be authentically interested.6. Be sincere in your praise.

7. Show you care.”

Lao Tzu

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is

done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.

Proverbs 29v18

Where there is no vision, the people perish. —Proverbs 29:18.

Jack Welch

Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you

become a leader, success is all about growing others. —Jack Welch

Warren Bennis

The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a

genetic factor to leadership. That's nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born. —

Warren Bennis

Vince Lombardi

Leaders aren't born, they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's

the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.

Ralph Nader

I start with the premise that the function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers. —

Ralph Nader

Theodore Roosevelt

The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint

enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it.

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

A great person attracts great people and knows how to hold them together.

—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Jim Rohn

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.

Douglas MacArthur

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.

Max Lucado

A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the

crowd.

Harvey Firestone

The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership.

Abraham Lincoln

Whatever you are, be a good one.

Michael Jordan

Earn your leadership every day.
