A leader leads by example not by Force.
Sun Tzu
To win without risk is to triumph without glory.
Pierre Corneille
Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.
John C. Maxwell
Leadership is mostly a power over imagination, and never more so than in combat. The bravest man alone can only be an armed lunatic. The real strength lies in the ability to get others to do your work.
Lois McMaster Bujold
A person who is worthy of being a leader wants power not for himself, but in order to be of service.
US Senator Sam J. Ervin, Jr.
Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery.
Warren G. Bennis
The more responsibility the Scoutmaster gives his patrol leaders, the more they will respond.
Robert Baden-Powell
Too many leaders act as if the sheep... their people... are there for the benefit of the shepherd, not that the shepherd has responsibility for the sheep.
Ken Blanchard
Leaders are responsible not for running public opinion polls but for the consequences of their actions.
Henry A. Kissinger
When the leaders choose to make themselves bidders at an auction of popularity, their talents, in the construction of the state, will be of no service. They will become flatterers instead of legislators; the instruments, not the guides, of the people.
Edmund Burke
The great leaders have always stage-managed their effects.
Charles de Gaulle
A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or regard that quality in its chosen leaders today - and in fact we have forgotten.
John F. Kennedy
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.
Vince Lombardi
We have no leadership, no captain at the helm as it were. We are, in effect, being led from disaster to disaster by a headless horseman run amok with stuffed pockets and an empty conscience.
