I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
Mahatma Gandhi

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

Colin Powell

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.
Nelson Mandela

A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.
Jim Rohn

We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That's not leadership. That's not going to happen.
Barack Obama

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I, therefore, intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt.
Barack Obama

Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.
Peter Drucker
