A great leader’s courage to fulfill their vision comes from

The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born - that there
is a genetic factor to leadership. That’s nonsense; in fact, the opposite is
true. Leaders are made rather than born - Warren Bennis
Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When
you become a leader, success is all about growing others - Jack Welch
A leader is a dealer in hope
- Napoleon Bonaparte
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and
shows the way - John Maxwell
I start with the premise that the function of leadership is to
produce more leaders, not more followers - Ralph Nader
Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked;
leadership is defined by results not attributes - Peter Drucker
The Big Hole, Kimberley

Good judgment comes from experience and experience
comes from bad judgments
– Dr Warne E Dyer

– Margaret Thatcher
Management is doing things right; leadership is
doing the right things – Peter Drucker
Innovation distinguishes a leader from a follower
– Steve Jobs
A leader is best when people barely know they exist,
when their work is done, their aim is fulfilled, people
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
A good objective
of leadership is
to help those
who are doing
poorly to do well
and to help
those who are
doing well to do
even better
- Jim Rohn
Simply put,
without robust
social skills a
leader won’t be
leading for long
- David Rock
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do
more and become more, you are a leader - John Quincy Adams
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in
which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing
you think you cannot do - Eleanor Roosevelt
Great leaders are not defined by the absence of weakness,
but rather by the presence of clear strengths - John Zenger
Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through
argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand
- General Colin Powell
Leaders think and talk about the solutions. Followers think and
talk about the problems - Brian Tracy
Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an
environment where excellence is expected – Steve Jobs
The key to successful leadership today is influence,
not authority - Kenneth Blanchard
A real leader faces the music even when he doesn’t
like the tune – Arnold H Glassgow
