He who has…..
…….. learned how to obey will know how to command.

Control is …..
….. not leadership; management is not leadership; leadership is leadership is leadership. If you seek to lead, invest at least 50 percent of your time leading yourself–your own purpose, ethics, principles, motivation, conduct. Invest at least 20 percent leading those with authority over you and 15 percent leading your peers. If you don’t understand that you work for your mislabeled ‘subordinates,’ then you know nothing of leadership. You know only tyranny.
– Dee Hock

………. a good leader is to leave behind him a situation which common sense, without the grace of genius, can deal with successfully.

Leadership is ……
….. much less about what you do, and much more about who you are. If you view leadership as a bag of manipulative tricks or charismatic behaviours to advance your own personal interests, then people have every right to be cynical. But if your leadership flows first and foremost from inner character and integrity of ambition, then you can justly ask people to lend themselves to your organization and its mission.
– Jim Collins
To be a leader…….
…….. you have to make people want to follow you, and nobody wants to follow someone who doesn’t know where he is going.
– Joe Namath
Innovation……
……..distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
– Steve Jobs
