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.

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

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

The best leaders are readers of people. They have the intuitive ability to understand others by discerning how they feel and recognizing what they sense.

Leaders know the importance of having someone in their lives who will unfailingly and fearlessly tell them the truth.

Good leaders make people feel that they’re at the very heart of things, not at the periphery.

Great leaders are willing to sacrifice the numbers to save the people. Poor leaders sacrifice the people to save the numbers.

Leaders lead but in the end it’s the people who deliver. Good leaders must first become good servants.

Leaders must wake people out of inertia. They must get people excited about something they’ve never seen before, something that does not yet exist.

Leaders understand the ultimate power of relationships.

There are a lot of people who call themselves teachers or leaders, but they’re really just propagandists.

Real leadership is leaders recognizing that they serve the people that they lead.

Throughout history, great leaders have known the power of humor.

Leaders establish the vision for the future and set the strategy for getting there.

Good leaders need a positive agenda, not just an agenda of dealing with crisis. Leaders need to be optimists. Their vision is beyond the present.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality. A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way. Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.

The art of leadership is saying no, not saying yes. It is very easy to say yes. A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent. Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it. Lead from the back — and let others believe they are in front. May we all grow to be leaders
