“Anybody will do for you……

 

………but not for me. I must have somebody.”

– Abraham Lincoln

“The world is full…..

……of men who want to be right, when actually the secret of a man’s strength and his pathway to true honour is his ability to admit fault when he has failed. God wants to fill the church with men who can say they are wrong when THEY ARE WRONG. A man who is willing to humble himself before God and his family and say:”I was wrong.” will find that his family has all the confidence in the world in him and will much more readily follow him. If he stubbornly refuses to repent or admit he was wrong, their confidence in him and in his leadership erodes.”

– Jim Anderson

“True leaders understand…..

… that leadership is not about them but about those they serve. It is not about exalting themselves but about lifting others up.”

– Sheri L Dew

“Surround yourself with…..

……. great people; delegate authority; get out of the way”

– Ronald Reagan

“Jesus said several times…..

….. “Come, follow me.” His was a program of “do what I do,” rather than “do what I say.” His innate brilliance would have permitted him to put on a dazzling display, but that would have left his followers far behind. He walked and worked with those he was to serve. His was not a long-distance leadership. He was not afraid of close friendships; he was not afraid that proximity to him would disappoint his followers. The leaven of true leadership cannot lift others unless we are with and serve those to be led.”

– Spencer Kimball

“Leadership is not …..

…… about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.”

– John Maxwell

“Some leaders …..

…….. are born women.”

– Graldine Ferraro

“Remember teamwork begins…..

…… by building trust. And the only way to do that is to overcome our need for invulnerability.”

– Patrick Lencioni

“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

“Humans will probably always need…..

…….. the help of especially gifted moral leaders in order to extend the bonds of caring and trust beyond the easy range of the family and the face-to-face community. Such bonds have become essential to the future of humanity.”

– Paul Lawrence
