Leaders don't convince people to follow them. Leaders walk forward alone and those who want to go down their path decide to follow.

We should always choose to work with people we love. They are the ones who will watch our back and our future.

People who go to work to be a part of the cause don't go home. They are home. Now - who wants to quit?

The worst leaders are the once that think they have to know as much or more than the people who work with them. The best leaders are the once who know that their employees know hell of a lot more than what they know and willing to admit it whilst expressing the value of their employees.

If we inspire people, they will give us more than we asked for. If we manipulate them, they will give us exactly what we paid for

It is like when a player has a slump, we do not trade them, we coach them. It is the same with our employees. The best leaders come to the aid of their people, whose performance is down. Not come down harder on them.

A great leader will never sacrifice the people for the numbers.

A leader must be inspired by the people before a leader can inspire the people.

Work with people who believe what you believe.

It is not the genius at the top giving directions that makes people great. It is great people that make the guy at the top look like a genius.

A poor leader will tell you how many people work for them. A great leader will tell you how many people they work for.

Leaders may inspire, but only when the people decide to act does the leader's vision become a movement.

Hire people inspired to achieve something big over people who demand something big before they feel inspired.

Very few people or companies can clearly articulate WHY they do WHAT they do. By WHY I mean your purpose, cause or belief - WHY does your company exist? WHY do you get out of bed every morning? And WHY should anyone care?

Trust is built on telling the truth, not telling people what they want to hear.

The ability for a group of people to do remarkable things hinges on how well those people can pull together as a team.

The goal of business should not be to do business with anyone who simply wants what you have. It should be to focus on the people who believe what you believe. When we are selective about doing business only with those who believe in our WHY, trust emerges.

Truly effective and inspiring leaders aren’t actually driven to lead people; they are driven to serve them.

A good leader shares information, even if they don't know the whole story. Without any information, people create their own, which causes fear and paranoia.

The more you inspire, the more people will inspire you.

Remember to connect with people now and then. In fact, pick up the phone, right now, and call a friend for no other reason than to say hi.

Most people ignore opportunities because they see only danger. Entrepreneurs ignore danger because they see only opportunities.

If you don't understand people, you don't understand business.

We can not lead an organization, we can run an organization. We can only lead people.

A movement only exists when people are inspired to move, to do something, to make the cause their own.

True love is when both people think they have the better half of the deal.

People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it. And what you do simply proves what you believe

I don't care about convincing the people who think I'm naive or an idiot. I'm interested in how do I inspire the people who are open-minded that there's a different way of seeing the world.

More often than not when we do not like our work, it's not necessarily because of the work itself. But more often because of the people we work with and more importantly because of the lack of leadership. It is amazing how inspired and motivated we can be when we like the people and when we feel like we show up to work because our leaders care about our wellbeing. It is kind of incredible actually.

Offer your strengths to others and you'll be amazed how many people offer their strengths to you.

Inspire people to do the things that inspire them and, together, we can change our world.

Don't freak yourself out by what other people have. They don't have what you've got.

When we tell people to do their jobs, we get workers. When we trust people to get the job done, we get leaders.

We should invest in people not ideas. A good idea is often destroyed by bad people and good people can always make a bad idea better.

When leaders care less about their people, their people will be careless.

Life is beautiful not because of the things we see or do. Life is beautiful because of the people we meet.

Average companies give their people something to work on. The most innovative organizations give their people something to work toward.

People will do as they are told by someone who outranks them, but they will only follow someone they believe in.

The leaders who get the most out of their people are the leaders who care most about their people.

When people are financially invested, they want a return. When people are emotionally invested, they want to contribute.

A leader's job is not just to get the best out of their people-a leader's job is to make more leaders.

A team is not a group of people that work together. A team is a group of people that trust each other.

If you want to be a great leader, remember to treat all people with respect at all times. For one, because you never know when you'll need their help. And two, because it's a sign you respect people, which all great leaders do.

A leader's job is not to do the work for others; it's to help others figure out how to do it themselves, to get things done and to succeed beyond what they thought possible.

Like a good parent can't also be his child's best friend, a leader with authority requires some separation from subordinates.

The most effective leaders are actually better at guarding against danger when they acknowledge it that it exists. Cowards, in contrast, cling to the hope that failure will never happen and may be sloppy in the face of danger - not because they don't acknowledge that it exists, but because they are just too afraid of it to look it in the eye.

Great leaders state out loud what they intend to do and in doing so, they get things done.

Great leaders don't need to act tough. Their confidence and humility serve to underscore their toughness.

The quality of a leader cannot be judged by the answers he gives, but by the questions he asks.

You'll never see the president carry his own luggage, and why? Because even though we know he has luggage, it would reduce his stature if he was too much like us. We need to think of our leaders as being above us, even though they must still relate to us.
