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

 

Be a yardstick…

… of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.

– Steve Jobs

 

If you believe…

 … that lack of authority prevents you from leading effectively, it is time to rethink your understanding of leadership.

… of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to work.

… do so little; together we can do so much.

Leadership is…

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

You have to…

… look at leadership through the eyes of the followers and you have to live the message. What I have learned is that people become motivated when you guide them to the source of their own power and when you make heroes out of employees who personify what you want to see in the organisation.

– Anita Roddick

We live in…

… a society obsessed with public opinion. But leadership has never been about popularity.

– Marco Rubio

Everybody is….

… a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

― Albert Einstein

The secret of…

…a leader lies in the tests he has faced over the whole course of his life and the habit of action he develops in meeting those tests.

– Gail Sheehy
