Leaders have to be dealers in hope.
The ability to connect and influence people, that's the job of a leader. And we're all leaders at some level.
The only way to lead people is to show them a future: a leader is a dealer in hope.
We will have to learn to lead people rather then to contain them.
Leader and followers are both following the invisible leader - the common purpose. The best executives put this common purpose clearly before their group. While leadership depends on depth of conviction and the power coming therefrom there must also be the ability to share that conviction with others, the ability to make purpose articulate. And then that common purpose becomes the leader.
The best thing you can say about any coach is his players play hard for him.
Those who lead by example and demonstrate passion for what they do make it much easier for their followers to do the same.
To be a leader means to be able to move masses
Every human endeavor has leaders and followers, and your job as a leader is to inspire.
True leadership cannot be awarded, appointed, or assigned. It comes only from Influence.
Leaders touch a heart before they ask for a hand.
Leaders become great, not because of their power, but because of their ability to empower others.
One does not "manage" people. The task is to lead people.
To lead yourself, use your head; to lead others, use your heart. Always touch a person's heart before you ask him for a hand.
It is no easy task to lead men. But it is easy enough to drive them.
Leadership is influence. It is the ability to obtain followers. When the leader lacks confidence, the followers have no commitment. A leader is great not because of his power, but because of his ability to empower others.
The best leaders lift people up versus tear people down.
A great leader has the ability to instill within his people confidence in themselves.
The boss inspires fear; the leader inspires enthusiasm.
A business leader has to keep their organization focused on the mission. That sounds easy, but it can be tremendously challenging in today's competitive and ever-changing business environment. A leader also has to motivate potential partners to join.
Successful leaders are great askers
Great leaders communicate a vision that captures the imagination and fires the hearts and minds of those around them.
Bosses push, Leaders pull. Real leadership is servant leadership.
When the leader lacks confidence, the followers lack commitment.
I cannot change the world, but I do not have to conform.
