I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
Mohandas Gandhi
Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.
John F. Kennedy
We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That's not leadership. That's not going to happen.
Barack Obama
It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
Nelson Mandela
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
Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.
Peter Drucker
Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.
Colin Powell
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
Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.
Peter Drucker
No institution can possibly survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organized in such a way as to be able to get along under a leadership composed of average human beings.
Peter Drucker
Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I have a different vision of leadership. A leadership is someone who brings people together.
George W. Bush
Leadership to me means duty, honor, country. It means character, and it means listening from time to time.
George W. Bush
I speak directly to the people, and I know that the people of California want to have better leadership. They want to have great leadership. They want to have somebody that will represent them. And it doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or a Republican, young or old.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
You don't lead by hitting people over the head - that's assault, not leadership.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.
Harry S. Truman
Leadership is influence.
John C. Maxwell
Good leadership consists of showing average people how to do the work of superior people.
John D. Rockefeller
