……. 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.”

“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
“A leader takes people……
……. where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don’t necessarily want to go, but ought to be.”
– Rosalynn Carter
“Truly powerful people……
…….. have great humility. They do not try to impress, they do not try to be influential. They simply are. People are magnetically drawn to them. They are most often very silent and focused, aware of their core selves. … They never persuade, nor do they use manipulation or aggressiveness to get their way. They listen. If there is anything they can offer to assist you, they offer it; if not, they are silent.”
– Sanaya Roman
“A man can only lead when …..
……… others accept him as their leader, and he has only as much authority as his subjects give to him. All of the brilliant ideas in the world cannot save your kingdom if no one will listen to them.”
– Brandon Sanderson
“A leader. . .
…..is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.”
– Nelson Mandela
“Leaders are not, …..
…… as we are often led to think, people who go along with huge crowds following them. Leaders are people who go their own way without caring, or even looking to see, whether anyone is following them. “Leadership qualities” are not the qualities that enable people to attract followers, but those that enable them to do without them. They include, at the very least, courage, endurance, patience, humour, flexibility, resourcefulness, stubbornness, a keen sense of reality, and the ability to keep a cool and clear head, even when things are going badly. True leaders, in short, do not make people into followers, but into other leaders.”
– John Holt
“Power isn’t control at all……
…….. power is strength, and giving that strength to others. A leader isn’t someone who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own.”
– Beth Revis
“The first responsibility of a leader …..
……… is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant.”
– Max DePree
“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
