The TEMPORARY end of the U.S. government shut-down has got moi thinking about the LACK OF LEADERSHIP in national government. Today’s deposit into the ‘Joy jar’ is LEADERSHIP.
A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
Nelson Mandela
A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.
Lao Tzu
I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
Mahatma Gandhi
Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.
Colin Powell
Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.
Peter Drucker
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.
John Quincy Adams
Don’t find fault, find a remedy.
Henry Ford
Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
Steve Jobs
When the best leader’s work is done the people say, ‘We did it ourselves.’
Lao Tzu
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
John C. Maxwell
Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.
Peter Drucker
People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader leads, and the boss drives.
Theodore Roosevelt
Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself.
Henry Ward Beecher
Good leadership consists of showing average people how to do the work of superior people.
John D. Rockefeller
A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.
