Leader
(page 2)
Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.
When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves'.
To most people, paranoia carries a negative connotation. I believe it is one of the most valuable attributes a leader can have. It is about self-reflection and having the courage, humility, and discipline to constantly ask uncomfortable questions that can potentially poke holes in your strategy and challenge your conventional thinking.
The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.
I pray to be a good servant to God, a father, a husband, a son, a friend, a brother, an uncle, a good neighbor, a good leader to those who look up to me, a good follower to those who are serving God and doing the right thing.
There is no greater name for a leader than mother or father. There is no leadership more important than parenthood.
A leader is a dealer in hope.
I would say that nobody is going to work harder for your career than yourself — the one with the vision. No matter how many people you hire, nobody is going to get is as much as yourself does. So it's really important to be your own leader at all times and not hand it all off, otherwise the whole empire will fall apart.
The role of a creative leader is not to have all the ideas; it's to create a culture where everyone can have ideas and feel that they're valued.
The true measure of the value of any business leader and manager is performance.
A leader's job is not to do the work for others, it's to help others figure out how to do it themselves, to get things done, and to succeed beyond what they thought possible.
A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.
No matter how good you think you are as a leader, my goodness, the people around you will have all kinds of ideas for how you can get better. So for me, the most fundamental thing about leadership is to have the humility to continue to get feedback and to try to get better — because your job is to try to help everybody else get better.
A true leader has to have a genuine open-door policy so that his people are not afraid to approach him for any reason.
The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.
A word of encouragement from a teacher to a child can change a life. A word of encouragement from a spouse can save a marriage. A word of encouragement from a leader can inspire a person to reach her potential.
People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader leads, and the boss drives.
One secret of leadership is that the mind of a leader never turns off. Leaders even when they are sightseers or spectators, are active; not passive observers.
A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit.
Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
