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
