Leadership rests…

… not only upon ability, not only upon capacity; having the capacity to lead is not enough. The leader must be willing to use it. Leadership is then based on truth and character. There must be truth in the purpose and willpower in the character.

– Vince Lombardi

The ultimate leader….

…. is one who is willing to develop people to the point that they eventually surpass him or her in knowledge and ability

– Fred A. Manske

No general can…..

……. fight his battles alone. He must depend upon his lieutenants, and his success depends upon his ability to select the right man for the right place.

– Philip Armour

True leadership…..

….. strengthens the followers. It is a process of teaching, setting an example, and empowering others. If you seek to lead, your ability will ultimately be measured in the successes of those around you.

– David Niven

“Followership is a discipline….

…. of supporting leaders and helping them to lead well. It is not submission, but the wise and good care of leaders, done out of a sense of gratitude for their willingness to take on the responsibilities of leadership, and a sense of hope and faith in their abilities and potential.”

— Reverend Paul Beedle

“Relational skills are…..

…… the most important abilities in leadership.”

– John Maxwell
