3. Leadership

4. Erskine Bowles
Leadership is the key to 99 percent of
all successful efforts.

5. Bill Bradley
Leadership is unlocking people's
potential to become better.

6. Robin S Sharma
Leadership is not about a title or a
designation. It's about impact,
influence and inspiration. Impact
involves getting results, influence is
about spreading the passion you have
for your work, and you have to inspire
team-mates and customers.

7. Robin S Sharma
Basically, to lead without a title is to
derive your power within the
organisation not from your position
but from your competence,
effectiveness, relationships,
excellence, innovation and ethics.
.

8. Robin S Sharma
You cannot lead others until you have
first learned to lead yourself

9. John Quincy Adams
If your actions inspire others to dream
more, learn more, do more and
become more, you are a leader.

10. J K Rowling
It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps
those who are best suited to power
are those who have never sought it.
Those who, like you, have leadership
thrust upon them, and take up the
mantle because they must, and find to
their own surprise that they wear it
well.”

11. Ralph W Emerson
“Our chief want is someone who will
inspire us to be what we know we
could be.”

12. Robert Michaels
“I don't care if you're black, white,
straight, bisexual, gay, lesbian, short,
tall, fat, skinny, rich or poor. If you're
nice to me, I'll be nice to you. Simple
as that.”

13. Roy T Bennet (The light in the heart)
“7 Effective Ways to Make Others Feel Important
1. Use their name.
2. Express sincere gratitude.
3. Do more listening than talking.
4. Talk more about them than about you.
5. Be authentically interested.
6. Be sincere in your praise.
7. Show you care.”

14. Lao Tzu
A leader is best when people barely
know he exists, when his work is
done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we
did it ourselves.

15. Proverbs 29v18
Where there is no vision, the people
perish. —Proverbs 29:18.

16. Jack Welch
Before you are a leader, success is all
about growing yourself. When you
become a leader, success is all about
growing others. —Jack Welch

17. Warren Bennis
The most dangerous leadership myth
is that leaders are born-that there is a
genetic factor to leadership. That's
nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true.
Leaders are made rather than born. —
Warren Bennis

18. Vince Lombardi
Leaders aren't born, they are made.
And they are made just like anything
else, through hard work. And that's
the price we'll have to pay to achieve
that goal, or any goal.

19. Ralph Nader
I start with the premise that the
function of leadership is to produce
more leaders, not more followers. —
Ralph Nader

20. Theodore Roosevelt
The best executive is the one who has
sense enough to pick good men to do
what he wants done, and self-restraint
enough to keep from meddling with
them while they do it.

21. Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
A great person attracts great people
and knows how to hold them together.
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

22. Jim Rohn
The challenge of leadership is to be
strong, but not rude; be kind, but not
weak; be bold, but not bully; be
thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble,
but not timid; be proud, but not
arrogant; have humor, but without
folly.

23. Douglas MacArthur
A true leader has the confidence to
stand alone, the courage to make
tough decisions, and the compassion
to listen to the needs of others. He
does not set out to be a leader, but
becomes one by the equality of his
actions and the integrity of his intent.

24. Max Lucado
A man who wants to lead the
orchestra must turn his back on the
crowd.

25. Harvey Firestone
The growth and development of people
is the highest calling of leadership.

26. Abraham Lincoln
Whatever you are, be a good one.

27. Michael Jordan
Earn your leadership every day.
