No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or get all the credit for doing it. - Andrew Carnegie
Never complain, never explain. Resist the temptation to defend yourself or make excuses. - Brian Tracy
Leadership is not about forcing your will on others. It's about mastering the art of letting go. - Phil Jackson
A few primary keys to becoming a leader in business include having a clear intent or purpose, a truly inspiring vision, a grand message to share, a genuine social calling and a targeted niche to serve.
I learned early on that one of the secrets to campus leadership was the simplest thing of all: speak to people coming down the sidewalk before they speak to you. I did that in college. I did it when I carried my papers. I would always look ahead and speak to the person coming toward me. If I knew them, I would call them by name, but even if I didn't I would still speak to them. Before long, I probably knew more students than anybody in the university, and they recognized me and considered me their friend. - Sam Walton
Leaders must always put their people before themselves. If you do that, your business will take care of itself. - Sam Walton
The only problem is I have always been the leader and have never had the opportunity to learn from a training partner. - Greg Doucette
Some of the most successful leaders are also the best listeners. I remember one in particular. He had been hired by a large corporation to assume the role of sales manager. But he knew absolutely nothing about the specifics of the business.
Being a good listener is absolutely critical to being a good leader; you have to listen to the people who are on the front line.
The key enterprising skills I used when first starting out are the very same ones I use today: the art of delegation, risk-taking, surrounding yourself with a great team and working on projects you really believe in.
A leader is any person who realizes the importance of becoming a bigger and better person with the passing of every day, week and month. - Earl Nightingale
Leaders make sure that the way to success is always broad enough and straight enough for others to follow.
A leader must identify himself with the group, must back up the group, even at the risk of displeasing superiors. He must believe that the group wants from him a sense of approval. If this feeling prevails, production, discipline, morale will be high, and in return, you can demand the cooperation to promote the goals of the community.
Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.
It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever — the one who recognizes the challenges and does something about it.
