Leadership is not just…..

……. the province of people at the top. Leadership can occur at all levels and by any individual. In fact, we see that it is important for leaders to develop leadership in those below them.

– Bernard Mass & Ronald Riggio

Perhaps those who are ….

…..best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who … have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.

– J K Rowling

Leadership is not….

…… a job, not a role one plays at work and then puts aside during the commute home in order to relax and enjoy real life. Rather, leadership is the leader’s real life.

– Chris Lowney

“I must…..

….. follow the people. Am I not their leader?”

– Benjamin Disraeli

“We are here for….

….. a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark.”

– Whoopi Goldberg

Remember….

..the difference between a boss and a leader… a boss says “Go” a leader says “Let’s go”

– Anon

“It is the….

…… men behind who make the man ahead.”

— Merle Crowell

“We all carry…..

……. a responsibility to do what we can when it will make a difference.”

— Michael Useem, Leading Up

“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

“The difference between ….

….. followers and leaders is that followers need leaders to help them follow what leaders themselves are following. This relationship takes the form of a shared response-ability to a shared calling. Both find each other in a true fellowship to create the world responsibly.”

— James Maroosis
