Inspired originally by a quote from this blog: Quote for Apr 9th by Carol Dougherty (http://simplifypersonalproductivity.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/quote-for-apr-9th/) I thought I would put together some quotes on Leadership that have motivated and challenged me over the past few months. I hope that you find them as useful as I have! The full PowerPoint 2010 file (*.pptx) is available here: http://alesandrab.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/leadership-quotes/ ‎

1. “Leadership is the capacity to
translate vision into reality”

2. “In matters of style, swim with the current;
in matters of principle, stand like a rock”

3. “I think leadership is service and there is power in that giving:
to help people, to inspire and motivate them
to reach their fullest potential”

4. “Leaders must be close
enough to relate to others,
but far enough ahead to
motivate them.”

5. “The greatest leaders mobilize others by
coalescing people around a shared vision”

6. “What you do has far greater
impact than what you say”

7. “Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm”

8. “Do not follow where the
path may lead. Go instead
where there is no path and
leave a trail”

9. “Leaders think and talk about the solutions. Followers think
and talk about the problems”

10. “Leadership is the key to 99 percent of all successful efforts.”

11. “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”

12. “Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself.
When you become a leader, success is all about growing others”

13. “A man who wants to lead
the orchestra must turn his
back on the crowd”

14. “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.
The most certain way to succeed is
always to try just one more time”

15. “If your actions inspire
others to dream more, learn
more, do more and become
more, you are a leader”

16. “A positive attitude causes a
chain reaction of positive
thoughts, events and outcomes.
It is a catalyst and it sparks
extraordinary results”

17. “The pessimist complains
about the wind. The optimist
expects it to change. The
leader adjusts the sails”

18. “Never tell people how to do
things. Tell them what to do
and they will surprise you with
their ingenuity”

19. “Earn your leadership
every day”
