“There is no such thing as a perfect leader. We have to learn to lead ourselves.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
Whatever any one does or says, I must be good, just as if the emerald (or the gold or the purple) were always saying “Whatever any one does or says, I must be emerald and keep my color.”
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
First, do nothing inconsiderately or without a purpose. Second, make your acts refer to nothing else but a social end.
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
When a guide meets up with someone who is lost, ordinarily his reaction is to direct him on the right path, not mock or malign him, then turn on his heel and walk away. As for you, lead someone to the truth and you will find that he can follow. But as long as you don’t point it out to him, don’t make fun of him; be aware of what you need to work on instead.
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
That no one could ever have felt patronized by him – or in a position to patronize him. A sense of humour. (What Marcus learned from Maximus)
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
If you have been placed in a position above others, are you automatically going to behave like a despot? Remember who you are and whom you govern – that they are kinsmen, brothers by nature, fellow descendants of Zeus.
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
‘Well, what will my profession in the community be?’ Whatever position you are equipped to fill, so long as you preserve the man of trust and integrity.
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
Perhaps there are none more lazy, or more truly ignorant, than your everlasting readers.
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
Let men see, let them know, a real man, who lives as he was meant to live.
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
To be feared is to fear: no one has been able to strike terror into others and at the same time enjoy peace of mind himself.
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
Have I done something for the common good? Then I share in the benefits. To stay centered on that. Not to give up.
Quote by -Marcus Aurelius
“Though it is obligatory to hail our leaders for their sincere dedication to bringing democracy to a suffering world, perhaps in an excess of idealism, the more serious scholar/advocates of the mission of “democracy promotion” recognize that there is a “strong line of continuity” running through all administrations: the United States supports democracy if and only if it conforms to U.S. strategic and economic interests.”
Quote by -Noam Chomsky
The topic of leadership is a touchy one. A lot of leaders fail because they don't have the bravery to touch that nerve or strike that chord. Throughout my years, I haven't had that fear.
Quote by -Kobe Bryant
“To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West - know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy.”
Quote by -Barack Obama
“That's what the leadership was teaching me, day by day: that the self-interest I was supposed to be looking for extended well beyond the immediacy of issues, that beneath the small talk and sketchy biographies and received opinions, people carried with them some central explanation of themselves. Stories full of terror and wonder, studded with events that still haunted or inspired them. Sacred stories. ”
Quote by -Barack Obama
“We should soundly reject language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders that feeds a climate of fear and hatred or normalizes racist sentiments; leaders who demonize those who don't look like us, or suggest that other people, including immigrants, threaten our way of life, or refer to other people as subhuman or imply that America belongs to just one certain type of people. Such language isn't new — it's been at the root of most human tragedy throughout history, here in America and around the world. It has no place in our politics and our public life, and it's time for the overwhelming majority of Americans of goodwill, of every race and faith and political party, to say as much — clearly and unequivocally.”
Quote by -Barack Obama
“Be with a leader when he is right, stay with him when he is still right, but, leave him when he is wrong.”
Quote by -Abraham Lincoln
“Individual commitment to a group effort, that is what makes a team work.”
Quote by -Vince Lombardi
“Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.”
Quote by -Vince Lombardi
“Leadership rests not only upon ability, not only upon capacity; having the capacity to lead is not enough. The leader must be willing to use it. His leadership is then based on truth and character. There must be truth in the purpose and will power in the character.”
Quote by -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.”
Quote by -Vince Lombardi
“Leadership is not just one quality, but rather a blend of many qualities; and while no one individual possesses all of the needed talents that go into leadership, each man can develop a combination to make him a leader.”
Quote by -Vince Lombardi
“A leader must identify himself with the group, must back up the group, even at the risk of displeasing superiors. He must believe that the group wants from him a sense of approval. If this feeling prevails, production, discipline, morale will be high, and in return, you can demand the cooperation to promote the goals of the community.”
Quote by -Vince Lombardi
“The leader can never close the gap between himself and the group. If he does, he is no longer what he must be. He must walk a tightrope between the consent he must win and the control he must exert.”
Quote by -Vince Lombardi
“I think I’m a natural-born leader. I know how to bow down to authority if it’s authority that I respect.”
Quote by -Tupac
“Any leader has to have a certain amount of steel in them, so I am not that put out being called the Iron Lady.”
Quote by -Margaret Thatcher
“The ones that you’re calling wild are going to be the leaders in a little while.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
It's interesting that in searching for monsters to play you often end up playing leaders.
Quote by -Michael Sheen
"Each person must decide for himself what he wants each day. As a leader, I will expose you to the options and the likely consequences of those options. I'll even share my opinion if asked, but I'll never confuse it with the opinion, which simply doesn't exist."
Quote by -Wayne Dyer
"Good leadership consists of showing average people how to do the work of superior people."
Quote by -John D. Rockefelle
"Leadership is a word and a concept that has been more argued than almost any other I know. I am not one of the desk-pounding types that likes to stick out his jaw and look like he is bossing the show. I would far rather get behind and, recognizing the frailties and the requirements of human nature, would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him, he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone."
Quote by -Dwight D. Eisenhower
"In the final choice a soldier's pack is not so heavy as a prisoner's chains."
Quote by -Dwight D. Eisenhower
"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."
Quote by -Dwight D. Eisenhower
"Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it."
Quote by -Dwight D. Eisenhower
"I have found out in later years [that] we were very poor, but the glory of America is that we didn't know it then."
Quote by -Dwight D. Eisenhower
"Most people think of leadership as a position and therefore don't see themselves as leaders."
Quote by -Stephen R. Covey
