“Jesus said several times…..

….. “Come, follow me.” His was a program of “do what I do,” rather than “do what I say.” His innate brilliance would have permitted him to put on a dazzling display, but that would have left his followers far behind. He walked and worked with those he was to serve. His was not a long-distance leadership. He was not afraid of close friendships; he was not afraid that proximity to him would disappoint his followers. The leaven of true leadership cannot lift others unless we are with and serve those to be led.”

– Spencer Kimball

“Leaders live……

……by choice, not by accident.”

– Mark Gorman

“If you really want…..

……. the key to success, start by doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing.”

– Brad Szollose

“It’s time to care;…..

……. it’s time to take responsibility; it’s time to lead; it’s time for a change; it’s time to be true to our greatest self; it’s time to stop blaming others.”

– Steve Maraboli

“The greatest leader is……

……. not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.”

– Ronald Reagan

“You are not here merely…..

….. to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.”

– Woodrow Wilson

“Great leaders are almost always…..

……. great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand.”

– Colin Powell

“We know that leadership is ….

…….. very much related to change. As the pace of change accelerates, there is naturally a greater need for effective leadership.”

– John Kotter

Leadership is practiced….

……. not so much in words as in attitude and in actions.”

– Harold S Geneen

A true leader has the confidence to…..

….. stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.

– Douglas MacArthur
