Leadership

To command is to serve, nothing more and nothing less.
~ Andre Malraux

Leadership is a series of behaviors rather than a role for heroes.” ~ Margaret Wheatley

As a leader, it’s a major responsibility on your shoulders to practice the behavior you want others to follow.
~ Himanshu Bhatia

He who has never learned to obey cannot be a good commander.
~ Aristotle

The very essence of leadership is that you have to have a vision. It's got to be a vision you articulate clearly and forcefully on every occasion. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet. 
~ Reverend Theodore Hesburgh

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

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

It is absurd that a man should rule others, who cannot rule himself. ~ Latin Proverb

Leadership should be born out of the understanding of the needs of those who would be affected by it.
Marian Anderson
A noble leader answers not to the trumpet calls of self promotion, but to the hushed whispers of necessity.
Mollie Marti


What you do has far greater impact than what you say. 
~ Stephen Covey

Is there a better quality in a leader than humility when he might soon be granted enormous power to do good for his country and the world -- or harm?
~ Jane Fletcher Geniesse

You don’t lead by hitting people over the head—that’s assault, not leadership. 
~ Dwight Eisenhower

I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.
~ Lao Tzu

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

Leadership should be more participative than directive, more enabling than performing.
~ Mary D. Poole

Where there is no vision, there is no hope.
~ George Washington Carver
