It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.
Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
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.
Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.
Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.
A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit.
A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.
Leadership - leadership is about taking responsibility, not making excuses.
Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.
Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.
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.
Don't find fault, find a remedy.
People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader leads, and the boss drives.
I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.
Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself.
When you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat.
Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.
Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
Enlightened leadership is spiritual if we understand spirituality not as some kind of religious dogma or ideology but as the domain of awareness where we experience values like truth, goodness, beauty, love and compassion, and also intuition, creativity, insight and focused attention.
Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.
If you want a quality, act as if you already had it.
