Quotes about "Leadership"
4/9/2013 3:34:34 PM

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 genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

~ Deepak Chopra

Leadership is unlocking people's potential to become better.
~ Bill Bradley

Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved. It's being able to take it as well as dish it out. That's the only way you're going to get respect from the players.
~ Larry Bird

Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it's amazing what they can accomplish.

I agree with all except one and that is Nelson Mandela's (God rest His Soul) which I semi agree with because I believe you can only lead from behind by building the leaders that step forward and take the front line so you can plan for the next steps ahead.

HI Jim :-)
I am so glad to see you, been too long ( yet again)
Funny thing about quotes is how we read them and our perspectives based on so many factors.
When I read this one the wording had me reading it again and again to understand what was being said and I tend to agree with how you are seeing things.

What is a leader? What are the attributes of leadership? What kind of leaders are there and I guess it ends up with ..what kind of leader will you be?
