Seth Godin Quotes

Anyone can follow a path, but only a leader can blaze one.

Leadership is all about taking people on a journey. The challenge is that most of the time, we are asking people to follow us to places we ourselves have never been.

If you are going to lead people, you have to know where they are going.

Leadership is more than just managing economic reforms. Leadership means giving broad direction, take up challenges which other people cannot do.

A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn't go by yourself.

The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

People look for their leadership to lead.

There are times when a leader must move out ahead of the flock, go off in a new direction, confident that he is leading his people the right way.

Leadership is of the spirit, compounded of personality and vision
