Leadership Discussion

“Leaders aren’t born, they are made. They are made just like anything else, through hard work. That’s the price we’ll have to pay to achieve that goal or any other goal.”

Vince Lombardi


“Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.”

President John F. Kennedy


“Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is about growing others.”

Jack Welch


“The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.”

President Ronald Reagan

“Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.

Warren G. Bennis


“Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to high sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.”

Peter F. Drucker


“People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.”

John C. Maxwell


“Leadership is unlocking people’s potential to become better.”

Bill Bradley


“The greatest leaders mobilize others by coalescing people around shared vision”

Ken Blanchard


“Leadership is not magnetic personality, that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not ‘making friends and influencing people,’ that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to higher sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.”

Peter F. Drucker


“As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.”

Bill Gates

“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


“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.”

Douglas MacArthur


“I can give you a six-word formula for success: Think things through-then follow through.”

Edward Rickenbacker


“Control is not leadership; management is not leadership; leadership is leadership. If you seek to lead, invest at least 50 percent of your time in leading yourself – your own purpose, ethics, principles, motivation, conduct. Invest at least 20 percent leading those with authority over you and 15 percent leading your peers.”

Dee Hock


“Become the kind of leader that people follow voluntarily, even if you had no title or position.”

Brian Tracy


“Ninety percent of leadership is the ability to communicate something people want.”

Dianne Feinstein


“Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to.”

Dwight D. Eisenhower


“A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.”

Martin Luther King Jr.
