“If you really want…..
……. the key to success, start by doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing.”
– Brad Szollose
“Good leadership requires……
……….you to surround yourself with people of diverse perspectives who can disagree with you without fear of retaliation.”
– Doris Kearns Goodwin
“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
It is better to lead from behind…..
…….. and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
– Nelson Mandela
“The leaders who work most effectively……
…….. it seems to me, never say ‘I’. And that’s not because they have trained themselves not to say ‘I’. They don’t think ‘I’. They think ‘we’; they think ‘team’. They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don’t sidestep it, but ‘we’ gets the credit…. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.”
– Peter F. Drucker
I am personally convinced that….
…….one person can be a change catalyst, a transformer in any situation, any organization. Such an individual is yeast that can leaven an entire loaf. It requires vision, initiative, patience, respect, persistence, courage, and faith to be a transforming leader.”
– Stephen R Covey
Leadership is a matter of…..
….. having people look at you and gain confidence, seeing how you react. If you’re in control, they’re in control.
– Tom Landry
“Leadership is the ability to establish standards……
…..and manage a creative climate where people are self-motivated toward the mastery of long term constructive goals, in a participatory environment of mutual respect, compatible with personal values.”
