LEADERSHIP



The first step to leadership is servanthood. - John C.Maxwell.

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 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

The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you.
In between, the leader is a servant. – Max DePree

The very essence of leadership is [that] you 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.
- Theodore Hesburgh

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality. - Warren G. Bennis

The leader who exercises power with honor will work from the inside out, starting with himself. - Blaine Lee

Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions. - Harold Geneen

If you lead on the people with correctness, who will dare not to be correct? - Confucius

Leadership has a harder job to do than just choose sides. It must bring sides together. - Jesse Jackson

Leadership is an action, not a position. - Donald H. McGannon

Leaders are the ones who keep faith with the past, keep step with the present, and keep the promise to posterity. - Peter Ferdinand Drucker - Harold J. Seymour.

A good leader inspires others with confidence in him; a great leader inspires them with confidence in themselves. -Unkown.
