Be with a leader….

……. when he is right, stay with him when he is still right, but, leave him when he is wrong.

– Abraham Lincoln

Leaders are expected……

…….. to look into the future, to gaze across the time horizon and communicate to us what they see. It’s not about being prescient or clairvoyant. It’s about being discerning and perceptive. It’s about noticing what’s around the corner.

– James Kouzes & Barry Posner

Leadership is….

……. taking responsibility while others are making excuses.

– John C Maxwell

Good leadership is not ….

…… obtained by issuing orders but by conviction and delegation–genuine leaders recognize and achieve agreement to an exciting and challenging vision.

– Gerhard Zapke-Schauer

At the heart of leadership….

….. is the leader’s relationship with followers. People will entrust their hopes and dreams to another person only if they think the other is a reliable vessel.

– David Gergan

That’s what leadership is….

….. all about, identifying quality people, giving them the opportunity and experience to create and develop to continue to make the company successful. The best leaders identify and mentor potential leaders. A leader’s most important legacy is the leaders he or she develops.

– Kenneth Strong & John Dicicc0

The ultimate measure….

…… of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

– Martin Luther King Jr.

Leadership is…..

…… the catalytic gift that energizes, directs, and empowers all the other gifts.

– Bill Hybels

Real leadership is ….

……not about calling yourself “leader”; rather, it’s about taking up the cause to change some piece of the world for the better. Real leadership, in other words, is an extreme act rooted in love and motivated by a desire to create a better world–whether it’s the world of your company, team, neighbourhood, or family.
