Quotable Quotes on Leadership

By Arnel Sugay

As a workshop facilitator, I get to meet many supervisors and managers. Because of the nature of my job, I gravitate towards collecting quotes that talks about leadership. I use some of these quotes and post them after lunch for the leaders to ponder upon. Sometimes a quotation is all you need to explain a leadership concept with my participants. Below are some of the quotation I have used in my learning sessions: "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." - John Quincy Adams

"The quality of the leader is re ected in the standards they set for themselves." - Ray Kroc

"Not all readers are leaders, but all e ective leaders are readers." - Harry S. Truman (italics is mine)

"The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant." - Max DePree

"Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others." - Jack Welch

"We must become the change we wish to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi

"Where there is no vision, the people perish." - Proverbs 29:18

"People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision." - John Maxwell
