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

Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire team-mates and customers.

I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion.

The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.

Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.

The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.

Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.

Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.

People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader leads, and the boss drives.

Leadership is not about the next election, it’s about the next generation.

The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.

Don’t find fault, find a remedy.

Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.

Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success.

Leadership is unlocking people’s potential to become better.

When you can’t make them see the light, make them feel the heat.

When your values are clear to you, making decisions becomes easier.

I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together.

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.
