Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.
Vince Lombardi

Leaders aren't born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.

Leaders are people who do the right thing; managers are people who do things right.
Warren G. Bennis

The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.
Warren G. Bennis

Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery.
Warren G. Bennis

Leaders keep their eyes on the horizon, not just on the bottom line.
Warren G. Bennis

Leaders must encourage their organizations to dance to forms of music yet to be heard.
