Quotes: Leadership
“Leaders are born not made"
~ Unknown
"A leader leads by example, whether he intends to or not.”
~ John Quincy Adams
"Men make history, and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better."
~ Harry Truman
"A leader is best
When people barely know that he exists."
~ Witter Bynner
"In order to be a leader a man must have followers. And to have followers, a man must have their confidence. Hence, the supreme quality for a leader is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office. If a man's associates find him guilty of being phony, if they find that he lacks forthright integrity, he will fail. His teachings and actions must square with each other. The first great need, therefore, is integrity and high purpose. "
~ Dwight D. Eisenhower
"The leader is best,
When people are hardly aware of his existence,
Not so good when people praise his government,
Less good when people stand in fear,
Worst, when people are contemptuous.
Fail to honor people, and they will fail to honor you.
But of a good leader, who speaks little,
When his work is done, his aim fulfilled,
The people say, 'We did it ourselves.'"
~ Lao Tzu
"A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd."
~ Max Lucado
"A leader is one who sees more than others see, who sees farther than others see, and who sees before others see."
~ Leroy Eimes
"No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it."
~ Andrew Carnegie
"Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower."
~ Steve Jobs
"Real leaders are ordinary people with extraordinary determination."
