Leadership quotations

Being a CEO still means sitting across the table from big institutional investors and showing your leadership and having them believe in you.

Dennis Hastert

Leadership requires the courage to make decisions that will benefit the next generation.
Alan Autry

Many citizens see all the leadership of these large institutions together in a conspiracy against them rather than in any adversary relationship with each other.
Robert Teeter

So I think that our foreign policy, the president's strong and principled leadership when it comes to the war against terror and foreign policy is going to be an asset. Ed Gillespie
This is easy to say with the benefit of hindsight, but I think it once again points out how very important style of leadership, that is the way he does what he does, is to his perception.
Robert Teeter

In fact, the converse is true: At a time when the United States has been called on for a level of moral leadership, vision and inspiration not seen since World War II, we cannot afford to dissemble about crimes against humanity.
Adam Schiff

We should be therefore supporting a larger Europe, and in so doing we should strive to expand the zone of peace and prosperity in the world which is the necessary foundation for a stable international system in which our leadership could be fruitfully exercised.
Zbigniew Brzezinski

All Americans and freedom-loving people around the world owe President Reagan our deepest gratitude for his strong, principled leadership that ended the Cold War and brought freedom to millions of people.

Bob Ehrlich

I believe that we as the leader of the Free World must provide important leadership on the ethical parameters, the ethical constraints that this research requires.
Ron Kind

Half a world away nations that once lived under oppression and tyranny are now budding democracies due in large part to America 's leadership and the sacrifices of our military.
Bob Riley

Research has shown that the perceived style of leadership is by far the most important thing to most voters in evaluating officeholders and candidates.

One simple way to keep organizations from becoming cancerous might be to rotate all jobs on a regular, frequent and mandatory basis, including the leadership positions.

But I think Steve's main contribution besides just the pure leadership is his passion for excellence. He's a perfectionist. Good enough isn't good enough. And also his creative spirit. You know he really, really wants to do something great.
Andy Hertzfeld

The biggest difference is in the leadership. It was better for us. We had more coaches and mentors to help us. A lot of the younger players today suffer from a lack of direction.
Isiah Thomas

I think it is important to ask ourselves as citizens, not as Democrats attacking the administration, but as citizens, whether a world power can really provide global leadership on the basis of fear and anxiety?
Zbigniew Brzezinski

Margaret J. Wheatley

I believe that the capacity that any organisation needs is for leadership to appear anywhere it is needed, when it is needed.
Margaret J. Wheatley

I'm sad to report that in the past few years, ever since uncertainty became our insistent 21st century companion, leadership has taken a great leap backwards to the familiar territory of command and control.
Margaret J. Wheatley

I think what actually works best is local-level individual targeting of key leadership nodes.

Larry Bird

Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to, you'd better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony. And they can tell when you're not giving it all you've got.

Ken Blanchard

To have long term success as a coach or in any position of leadership, you have to be obsessed in some way.

Colin Powell

Leadership is influence.
John C. Maxwell

Absolute identity with one's cause is the first and great condition of successful leadership.

John F. Kennedy

Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out. Stephen Covey

Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall. Stephen Covey

Leadership quotations

I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
Mohandas Gandhi

Leadership quotations by Warren G. Bennis:

Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple, and it is also that difficult.


Excellence is a better teacher than mediocrity. The lessons of the ordinary are everywhere. Truly profound and original insights are to be found only in studying the exemplary.


Failing organizations are usually over-managed and under-led.


Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery.


Great things are accomplished by talented people who believe they will accomplish them.


Leaders are people who do the right thing; managers are people who do things right.


Leaders keep their eyes on the horizon, not just on the bottom line.


Leaders must encourage their organizations to dance to forms of music yet to be heard.


Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.


People who cannot invent and reinvent themselves must be content with borrowed postures, secondhand ideas, fitting in instead of standing out.


Taking charge of your own learning is a part of taking charge of your life, which is the sine qua non in becoming an integrated person.


The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment.


The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.


The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.


The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective.


The manager has his eye on the bottom line; the leader has his eye on the horizon.


The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.


There are two ways of being creative. One can sing and dance. Or one can create an environment in which singers and dancers flourish.


There is a profound difference between information and meaning.


Trust is the lubrication that makes it possible for organizations to work.


You need people who can walk their companies into the future rather than back them into the future.
