“A big man is one who makes us feel bigger when we are with him.” — John C. Maxwell “A good leader can’t get too far ahead of his followers.” — Franklin D. Roosevelt “A great leader’s courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion, not position.” –  John Maxwell “As a leader you should always start with where people are before you try to take them to where you want them to go.” — Jim Rohn “I light my candle from their torches.” — Robert Burton “I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.” — Indira Gandhi “High sentiments always win in the end, The leaders who offer blood, toil, tears and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.” — George Orwell “Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.” – John Maxwell “The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.” — Colin Powell “The ear of the leader must ring with the voices of the people.” — Woodrow Wilson “To become truly great, one has to stand with people, not above them.” — Charles de Montesquieu “To lead people, walk beside them.  As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence. The next best, the people honor and praise. The next, the people fear; and the next, the people hate.  When the best leader’s work is done the people say, ‘We did it ourselves.’” — Lao-Tsu http://sourcesofinsight.com/leadership-quotes/

A LEADER IS...

A Leader Is … “A good leader is a person who takes a little more than his share of the blame and a little less than his share of the credit.” — John C. Maxwell “A leader is not an administrator who loves to run others, but someone who carries water for his people so that they can get on with their jobs.” — Robert Townsend “A leader’s role is to raise people’s aspirations for what they can become and to release their energies so they will try to get there.” — David R. Gergen “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.” — Lao Tzu “A leader is one who sees more than others see, who sees farther than others see, and who sees before others see.” — Leroy Eimes http://sourcesofinsight.com/leadership-quotes/
