Leadership is something you have to sell each day. To the very same
people you sold it to yesterday.
T Jay Taylor quotes |

Seeking commitment from each member. Holding each member
accountable to that commitment.

yes.

Leadership: The art of getting someone else to do something you want

done because he wants to do it.
Dwight David Eisenhower quotes

Great leadership does not mean running away from reality. Sometimes
the hard truths might just demoralize the company, but at other times
sharing difficulties can inspire people to take action that will make the
situation better.
John Kotter quotes

Whether a man is burdened by power or enjoys power; whether he is

trapped by responsibility or made free by it; whether he is moved by
other people and outer forces or moves them -- this is of the essence of
leadership.
Theodore H White quotes

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
them or concluded that you do not care. Either case is a failure of
leadership.
Colin Powell quotes

Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy quotes

Leadership is action, not position.

Donald H McGannon quotes

Leadership is much more an art, a belief, a condition of

the heart, than a set of things to do. The visible signs of
artful leadership are expressed, ultimately, in its practice.
Max Depree quotes

Leadership is getting someone to do what they don't

humanity, but to elicit it, for the greatness is already
there.

Most people think of leadership as a position and

therefore don't see themselves as leaders.

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.
Tom Landry quotes

Leadership is the wise use of power. Power is the

capacity to translate intention into reality and sustain it.

Stephen R Covey quotes

Good leadership consists of showing average people

how to do the work of superior people.

John D Rockefeller quotes

Leadership is a word and a concept that has been more

argued than almost any other I know. I am not one of the
desk-pounding types that likes to stick out his jaw and
look like he is bossing the show. I would far rather get
behind and, recognizing the frailties and the requirements
of human nature, would rather try to persuade a man to
go along, because once I have persuaded him, he will
stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is
scared, and then he is gone.
Dwight David Eisenhower quotes

The only real training for leadership is leadership.

Anthony Jay quotes

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.
John Kenneth Galbraith quotes

The leader is one who mobilizes others toward a goal

shared by leaders and followers... Leaders, followers and
goals make up the three equally necessary supports for
leadership.
Gary Wills quotes

Effective leadership is not about making speeches or

being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.
Peter F Drucker quotes

Leadership has a harder job to do than just choose

sides. It must bring sides together.
Jesse Jackson quotes

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.
Nelson Mandela quotes

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.
Harry S Truman quotes

Leadership is like the old galley ships. 100s are rowing,

but only one (the captain) knows where they are going
Blaine Lee quotes

Leadership is applicable to all facets of life: a

competency that you can learn to expand your
perspective, set the context of a goal, understand the
dynamics of human behavior and take the initiative to
get to where you want to be.
John G Agno quotes

We need not just a new generation of leadership but a

new gender of leadership
Bill Clinton quotes

I forgot to shake hands and be friendly. It was an

important lesson about leadership.
Lee Iacocca quotes

Leadership development is not an event.

John G Agno quotes

Leadership is unlocking people's potential to become

better.
Bill Bradley quotes

In our system leadership is by consent, not command. To

lead a President must persuade. Personal contacts and
experiences help shape his thinking. They can be critical to
his persuasiveness and thus to his leadership.
Donald Rumsfeld quotes

O' the mass of arms, the brilliant leadership, the courage

and magnitude of the ancient armies of Greece, combined
to conquer the city of Troy - all that, and ten years of

perseverance
Hipponax The Satirist quotes

The very essence of leadership is [that] you have a

vision. It's got to be a vision you articulate clearly and
forcefully on every occasion. You can't blow an uncertain
trumpet.

are necessary to leadership.
Donald Rumsfeld quotes

Leadership must be established from the top down.

Sam Rayburn quotes

The Bible tells me that no greater love has a man than

to lay down his life for his friends. John Kerry's fellow
crewmates -- the men I am honored to share the stage
with -- are living testimony to his leadership, his
courage under fire, and his willingness to risk his life for
his fellow Americans. There is no greater act of
patriotism than that.
Max Cleland quotes

Presidential leadership needn't always cost money. Look

for low- and no-cost options. They can be surprisingly
effective.
Donald Rumsfeld quotes

Leadership is an unbelievably hard communications job.

Leadership without support is like trying to make bricks

without enough straw. True leaders reinforce their ideas
and plans with strategic partnerships, alliances and
supportive audiences.
Reed Markham PhD quotes

Leadership is a noble calling. In addtion to meeting welldefined strategic objectives, leaders must also help their
organizations make meaningful contributions to social

issues, economic growth, and political stability. That's why

effective organizational leadership plays a vital role in
shaping our world.
Robert L Joss quotes

Our military deserves leadership that matches their

service and patriotism. Getting our troops the pay raise
they deserve is the very least we can do to show how
much we value everything they do for us.
Senator John Kerry quotes

Strategic communication is at the core of effective

leadership. Through a leader's use of verbal and written
symbols employees are motivated or deflated, informed or
confused, productive or apathetic. A leader's ability to
carve off the verbal fat and get to the meat of an issue,
idea or plan will find success at every turn.
Reed Markham PhD quotes

Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in

attitude and in actions.
Harold S Geneen quotes

Effective leadership is not about making speeches or

teamwork and determination a person can overcome
anything.
Unknown quotes

Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a

common vision. The ability to direct individual
accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is
the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon
results.
Unknown quotes

Teamwork is so important that it is virtually impossible

for you to reach the heights of your capabilities or make
the money that you want without becoming very good at
it.
Brian Tracy quotes

We will try to create conditions where persons could come

together in a spirit of teamwork, and exercise to their
heart's desire their technological capacity.
Akio Morita quotes

O' the mass of arms, the brilliant leadership, the courage

and magnitude of the ancient armies of Greece, combined
to conquer the city of Troy - all that, and ten years of
perseverance
