“Nothing so conclusively proves…..

……. a man’s ability to lead others as what he does from day to day to lead himself.”

– Thomas J Watson Sr.

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

Nothing so conclusively proves……

…….. a man’s ability to lead others as what he does from day to day to lead himself.”

– Thomas J Watson Sr.

Let him who would be moved….

……… to convince others, be first moved to convince himself.

– Thomas Carlyle

Leadership is intangible……

……. and therefore no weapon ever designed can replace it.

– Omar N Bradley

“Your position never gives you…..

…….. the right to command. It only imposes on you the duty of so living your life that others may receive your orders without being humiliated.”

— Dag Hammarskjöld

Rely on your own strength…..

… of body and soul. Take for your star self-reliance, faith, honesty and industry. Don’t take too much advice — keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy and invincible determination with the right motive are the levers that move the world.
Noah Porter

“Leader in its most important sense…..

….. means being the agent of your own life, influencing the things you care about most in the world to make it a richer life. ”

— Stewart Friedman, Total Leadership

“Before you are a leader…..

…….. success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.”

— Jack Welch
