When we create the right kind of identity, we can say things to the world around us that they don't actually believe makes sense. We can get them to do things that they don't think they can do.
Most people think leadership is about being in charge. Most people think leadership is about having all the answers and being the most intelligent person or the most qualified person in the room. The irony is that it is the complete opposite. Leadership is about empowering others to achieve things they did not think possible. Leadership is about pointing in the direction, articulating a vision of the world that does not yet exist. Then asking help from others to insure that vision happens.
Leadership is about moving people from where they are to where you hope they'll go.
I think you're either born a leader or you're not.
Leadership is about calling people to do things beyond themselves.
Leadership is lifting a person's vision to high sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.
Twitter's a great way to tell people across the world what I care about and, hopefully, motivate them to join me in furthering my causes.
You manage things, you lead people. We went overboard on management and forgot about leadership.
To be a great leader of people - inspire them to follow you, not your rules.
Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.
Getting results through people is a skill that cannot be learned in the classroom.
I would never rule out coaching.
Leadership is not just about giving energy ... it's unleashing other people's energy.
Leadership means setting an example. When you find yourself in a position of leadership, people follow your every move.
In getting good results team leaders become conductor rather than driver, enabling others to play the right music, not by hands-on domination of all decisions and execution, but by providing inspiration, motivation and stimulus.
Leadership is like third grade: it means repeating the significant things.
Leading is not hypothetical debating; it's about solving real problems.
I think leadership is creating a state of mind in others.
Leadership is anytime you seek to influence the thinking, behavior, or development of others.
A lot of it is "how do you work with people". How do you get people to work with you and do wonderful things.
Effective leaders help others to understand the necessity of change and to accept a common vision of the desired outcome.
Your energy and the ability to energize others is more valuable than your time.
The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.
Real power comes by empowering others.
Leadership is providing inspiration and vision, then developing and empowering others to achieve this vision.
