41. 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
42. 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, Saying It Like It Is
43. A leader must lead. Where others see
obstacles, he must see opportunities. When others see problems, he must see
possibilities ... ― David J. Vaughan
44. I am more afraid of an army of 100 sheep
led by a lion than an army of 100 lions led by a sheep ― Talleyrand
45. Innovation distinguishes between a leader
and a follower. -Steve Jobs, Apple co-founder
46. The true mark of a leader is the
willingness to stick with a bold course of action — an unconventional business
strategy, a unique product-development roadmap, a controversial marketing
campaign — even as the rest of the world wonders why you’re not marching in
step with the status quo. In other words, real leaders are happy to zig while
others zag. They understand that in an
era of hyper-competition and non-stop disruption, the only way to stand out
from the crowd is to stand for something special. -Bill Taylor, from article
“Do You Pass the Leadership Test?”
47. Leaders instill in their people a hope
for success and a belief in themselves. Positive leaders empower people to
accomplish their goals. –Unknown
48. A good objective of leadership is to help
those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to
do even better. -Jim Rohn
49. The single biggest way to impact an
organization is to focus on leadership development. There is almost no limit to
the potential of an organization that recruits good people, raises them up as
leaders and continually develops them. -John Maxwell
50. Remember, the difference between a boss
and a leader... A boss say "Go" A leaders say "Let's go - best
quotes & poems
51. A leader is one who sees more than others
see, who sees farther than others see, and who sees before others see. - Leroy
Eimes
52. Control is not leadership;
management is not leadership;
leadership is leadership.
If you seek to
lead, invest at least 50% of your time
in leading yourself—your own purpose, ethics, principles, motivation, conduct.
Invest at least 20% leading those
with authority over you and
15% leading
your peers.
— Dee Hock, Founder and CEO
Emeritus, Visa
53. People ask the difference between a
leader and a boss. The leader leads, and the boss drives. — Theodore Roosevelt
54. Four rules of leadership in a free
legislative body:
First: no matter how hard-fought the
issue, never get personal. Don't say or
do anything that may come back to haunt you on another issue, another day....
Second: do your homework. You can't lead
without knowing what you're talking about....
Third: Use your power as a leader to
persuade, not intimidate....
Fourth: be considerate of the needs of your
colleagues, even if they're at the bottom of the totem pole...."
— George Bush, Former President of
the United States
55. Leadership is the ability to establish
standards and manage a creative climate where people are self-motivated toward
the mastery of long term constructive goals, in a participatory environment of
mutual respect, compatible with personal values. — Mike Vance
56. Leadership is not so much about technique
and methods as it is about opening the heart.
Leadership is about inspiration—of
oneself and of others.
Great leadership is about human
experiences, not processes.
Leadership is not a formula or a
program,
it is a human activity that comes
from the heart and considers the hearts of others.
It is an attitude, not a
routine."
— Lance Secretan, Industry Week,
October 12, 1998
