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.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
Like a good parent can't also be his child's best friend, a leader with authority requires some separation from subordinates.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
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.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
Great leaders state out loud what they intend to do and in doing so, they get things done.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
Great leaders don't need to act tough. Their confidence and humility serve to underscore their toughness.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
The quality of a leader cannot be judged by the answers he gives, but by the questions he asks.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
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.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
Though there are lessons that can be learned about becoming a great leader, most exist inherently in the bellies of those who lead.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
Notoriously outspoken, his sentences always punctuated with profanities, General George S. Patton was the epitome of what a leader should be like - or so he thought. Patton believed a leader should look and act tough, so he cultivated his image and his personality to match his philosophy.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
One of the best paradoxes of leadership is a leader's need to be both stubborn and open-minded. A leader must insist on sticking to the vision and stay on course to the destination. But he must be open-minded during the process.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
I try to find, celebrate and teach leaders how to build platforms that will inspire others.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
I never imagined working with CEOs, congressmen or the military, yet I make regular visits to the Pentagon, stop by the Capitol now and then and sit down with leaders of all kinds of companies.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
Leadership is a choice. It's not a rank, it's a choice. I know many people who are at the top of their organization who have authority. We have to do what they say because they have authority over us. But they're not leaders. We wouldn't follow them. They may be at the top of the company but they're not leaders.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
Leaders, whatever the size of their organizations, are those willing to put the interests of other people before their own.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
We all have the luxury of looking out for ourselves. Leaders also have the honor of looking out for others.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
We call them leaders because they go first, because they take the risk before anybody else does, because they will choose to sacrifice so their people will be safe and protected,
Quote by -Simon Sinek
Leaders don't convince people to follow them. Leaders walk forward alone and those who want to go down their path decide to follow.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
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.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
The bad leaders are the ones that push hard so they can gain, who brow beat us so that they can receive the benefit of our hard work, not so we can enjoy the success
Quote by -Simon Sinek
Quality effective leaders have the confidence to trust others to try, succeed, and sometimes to fail. We very often confuse personality with leadership. In other words, leadership is not about being a nice person or not a nice person.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
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.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
A leader must be inspired by the people before a leader can inspire the people.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
There are leaders and there are those who lead. Leaders hold a position of power or influence. Those who lead inspire us.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
Leading is not the same as being the leader. Being the leader means you hold the highest rank, either by earning it, good fortune or navigating internal politics. Leading, however, means that others willingly follow you—not because they have to, not because they are paid to, but because they want to.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
A star wants to see himself rise to the top. A leader wants to see those around him rise to the top.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
Leaders don’t complain about what’s not working. Leaders celebrate what is working and work to amplify it.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
A poor leader will tell you how many people work for them. A great leader will tell you how many people they work for.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
Leaders may inspire, but only when the people decide to act does the leader's vision become a movement.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
Poor leaders push us towards the goal. Great leaders guide us through the journey.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
We become leaders when we accept the responsibility to protect those in our care.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
Leaders don't look for recognition from others, leaders look for others to recognize.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
A leader, first and foremost, is human. Only when we have the strength to show our vulnerability can we truly lead.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
Truly effective and inspiring leaders aren’t actually driven to lead people; they are driven to serve them.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
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.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
Any great and inspiring leader or organization that ever existed set out to do something completely unrealistic.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
A leader should not take credit when things go right if they are not willing to accept responsibility when things go wrong.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
The true price of leadership is the willingness to place the needs of others above your own. Great leaders truly care about those they are privileged to lead and understand that the true cost of the leadership privilege comes at the expense of self-interest.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
Managers watch over our numbers, our time and our results. Leaders watch over us.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
Leaders volunteer to go first into danger. Their willingness to sacrifice for us is the reason we're inspired to follow.
Quote by -Simon Sinek
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.
