A boss loves power; a leader loves people. Amit Kalantri
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
A leader is not an administrator who loves to run others,
but someone who carries water for his people so that they can get on
with their jobs. Robert Townsend
A good leader leads the people from above them. A great leader leads the people from within them. M. D. Arnold
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 always believe that ultimately, if people are paying
attention, then we get good government and good leadership. And when we
get lazy, as a democracy and civically start taking shortcuts, then it
results in bad government and politics. Barack Obama
I don’t think you lead by pessimism and cynicism. I think you lead by optimism and enthusiasm and energy. Patricia Ireland
A boss says “you do it”, a leader says “Let’s do it”. Amit Kalantri
Managers do things right. Leaders do the right thing. Warren Bennis
People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader leads, and the boss drives. Theodore Roosevelt
Good leaders make people feel that they’re at the very heart of things, not at the periphery. Warren Bennis
You can’t sell it outside if you can’t sell it inside. Stan Slap
It is so easy to break down and destroy. The heroes are those who make peace and build. Nelson Mandela
A good leader can engage in a debate frankly and
thoroughly, knowing that at the end he and the other side must be
closer, and thus emerge stronger. You don’t have that idea when you are
arrogant, superficial, and uninformed. Nelson Mandela
The cynics may be the loudest voices – but I promise you, they will accomplish the least. Barack Obama
Few things kill likeability as quickly as arrogance.
Likable leaders don’t act as though they’re better than you because
they don’t think that they’re better than you. Rather than being a
source of prestige, they see their leadership position as bringing them
additional accountability for serving those who follow them. Travis
Bradberry
Kindness is weak when you use it in a self-serving
manner. Self-serving kindness is thin – people can see right through it
when a kind leader has an agenda. Travis Bradberry
If you want to be a leader whom people follow with
absolute conviction, you have to be a likable leader. Tyrants and
curmudgeons with brilliant vision can command a reluctant following for a
time, but it never lasts. They burn people out before they ever get to
see what anyone is truly capable of. Travis Bradberry
The manager has his eye on the bottom line; the leader has his eye on the horizon. Warren Bennis
The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective. Warren Bennis
I cannot trust a man to control others who cannot control himself. Robert E. Lee
When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everyone will respect you. Lao Tzu
Consistency is the true foundation of trust. Either keep your promises or do not make them. Roy T. Bennett
Trust is the lubrication that makes it possible for organizations to work. Warren Bennis
Remember, teamwork begins by building trust. And the only way to do that is to overcome our need for invulnerability. Patrick Lencioni
If people believe you have a plan, that you know where you are going, they will follow you instinctively. Robert Greene
True leaders actually do very little leading. Instead,
they create and maintain a framework that allows others to lead, create,
and grow. Neil Strauss
Humans are ambitious and rational and proud. And we don’t
fall in line with people who don’t respect us and who we don’t believe
have our best interests at heart. We are willing to follow leaders, but
only to the extent that we believe they call on our best, not our worst.
Rachel Maddow
Leaders must always put their people before themselves.
If you do that, your business will take care of itself. Sam Walton
(Walmart)
Divorced from ethics, leadership is reduced to management and politics to mere technique. James MacGregor Burns
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
It is the responsibility of intellectuals to speak the truth and expose lies. Noam Chomsky
A leader takes people where they would never go on their own. Hans Finzel
A man can only lead when others accept him as their
leader, and he has only as much authority as his subjects give to him.
All of the brilliant ideas in the world cannot save your kingdom if no
one will listen to them. Brandon Sanderson
One of the best ways to influence people is to make them feel important. Roy T. Bennett
If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that
goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his
heart. Nelson Mandela
In a battle between two ideas, the best one doesn’t
necessarily win. No, the idea that wins is the one with the most
fearless heretic behind it. Seth Godin
I don’t see myself being special; I just see myself
having more responsibilities than the next man. People look to me to do
things for them, to have answers. Tupac Shakur
Leaders can conceive and articulate goals that lift
people out of their petty preoccupations and unite them in pursuit of
objectives worthy of their best efforts. John Gardner
It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself. Eleanor Roosevelt
The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority. Kenneth Blanchard
