Leadership
by DW Green — August 6, 2015
Leadership can be thought of as a capacity to define oneself to others in a way that clarifies and expands a vision of the future. Skilled leaders accomplish great things and inspire others to grow in responsibility and skills. I believe that growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership. Leaders give their best in whatever job they’re doing. Any of us can take on leadership roles and qualities just by doing our jobs in a dependable way and encouraging others to share in and help us in attaining a worthwhile vision.
The following leadership quotes emphasize the importance of perseverance, service, and reliability.
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS: If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.
KENNETH BLANCHARD: The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.
RALPH NADER: I start with the premise that the function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.
JOHN WELCH: Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.
JAMES BUCHANAN: The test of leadership is not to put greatness into humanity, but to elicit it, for the greatness is already there.
I hope these leadership quotes have given you some important insights.
