Effective leadership is….

…… not about controlling from the top; it is about unleashing the power of people.

– Gordon Sullivan & Michael Harper

Leadership is not ….

…..something you own and keep for yourself. It is a responsibility you are entrusted with for a period of time, and it is a duty you fulfill.

– Keith Harrell

Remember….

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

– Anon

“There is a difference between…..

……. being a leader and being a boss. Both are based on authority. A boss demands blind obedience; a leader earns his authority through understanding and trust.”

 – Klaus Balkenhol

“I am reminded how hollow…..

……. the label of leadership sometimes is and how heroic followership can be.”

— Warren Bennis

“Show me the man……

….. you honour and I will know what kind of man you are.”

– Thomas J Carlisle

“Leadership is …..

…. an action, not a position.”

– Donald McGannon

 

“Example is not ….

…… the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.”

– Albert Schweitzer

“The challenge of leadership…..

…… is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humour, but without folly.”

– Jim Rohn

“A leader must lead……

….. Where others see obstacles, he must see opportunities. When others see problems, he must see possibilities … Civilization is not built on a negation but on an affirmation- an affirmation of the bright and promising possibilities that the future holds for those who are enterprising enough to pursue them.”

– David J Vaughan
