| In addition to what I've learned through studies and experience, I also follow some people on Twitter who often post good quotes about Leadership - and other things as well, but at times you may see that I do ReTweet some of them.
I'm going to post some, and will probably add some more over time. Feel free to add some of your own as well if you'd like:
"Lead if you can, follow if you must, but please don't stand still."
"It's not what you are that holds you back, it's what you think you're not."
"I have learned to use the word 'impossible' with great caution"
"Showing respect for others is not a weakness, it is a sign of strength."
"If you love to lead, then lead with love." | |

| I like the first one a lot, the second one is very true, but I don't understand what exactly the third one means? | |

| The third one is more militant but in my view what it means is that with the right leadership even the most unlikely group of warriors can be great. | |

| Doberman,
I think I get what you're saying, but I don't get what you mean - if that makes sense? | |

| Here are some quotes that I want to be a little creative and put some comments on, because I'm in a deep thinking mood right now.
"Pull a string & it'll follow wherever you wish. Push it & it'll go nowhere at all." - Dwight Eisenhower
That seems true. It's a matter of method behind being persistent. The pushing refers to aggressiveness, but the pulling can represent assertiveness. People are more likely respect an assertive Leader, than an aggressive Leader.
"Don't find fault, find a remedy." - Henry Ford
I agree with this, because finding a fault holds a person back in like a limbo of regret. A remedy is more effective, because it can still let a person know their mistake, but with a more positive solution. If someone makes a mistake, you make them better not by showing them how worthless they are, but by showing them a way they can be better. It can be challenging at times but a Leader must learn to control their ego and emotions, if they want to think more reasonably and be a better, more effective Leader.
"Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards." - Vernon Sanders Law
Interesting, and true. Knowledge and experience are two vital things a Leader needs. Of course it does have to start somewhere. But, that is true in the difference between knowledge and experience. The order of the lesson and test are backwards from each other.
"Use soft words and hard arguments." - English proverb
If you can't control your emotions, they will control you. Sometimes it's not always what you say, but how you say it. How you say something will not only change how people listen, but it's also linked with your mood, be it positive or negative.
"If you pursue happiness you'll never find it."- C.P. Snow
It is like the idea of once you stop looking for something, do you find it. It's kind of like the sense of tunnel vision a person has when looking at the trees, but once they stop looking at them, they're able to see the forest. I think this quote also has to do with the fact that happiness isn't an "end" that we should look for, but rather a "means". As in, it's not the destination that should be enjoyed only, but enjoy the journey too. And also the idea to not expect perfection every single time, otherwise people will more likely find fault with things a lot easier, and not really be able to enjoy things. Happiness is there, you don't have to search for it, you simply have to see it and accept it. | |

| "Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things." -Peter Drucker
"Leadership is solving problems. 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 or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership." -Colin Powell
"I have a different vision of leadership. A leadership is someone who brings people together." -George W. Bush
"Leadership does not always wear the harness of compromise." -Woodrow Wilson
"No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent." -Abraham Lincoln
"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
"Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality." -Warren G. Buffet | |
