LEADERSHIP

LEADERSHIP

THOUGHTS

"The task of leadership is

not to put greatness in humanity, but to elicit it, for

the greatness is already

there."----

~John Buchan~


"You know what makes leadership? It is the ability to get men to do

what they don't want to do and like it."

~Harry S. Truman~
"First organize the inner, then organize the outer ... First organize the great, then organize the small. First organize yourself, then organize others."

~Zhuge Liang~

"Not the cry, but the flight of the wild duck, leads the flock to fly and follow."
~Chinese Saying~

"A true leader has to have a genuine open-door policy so that his people are not

afraid to approach him for any reason."
~Harold Geneen~
"The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers."
~Ralph Nader

Leadership consists not in degrees of technique but in traits of character; it requires moral rather than athletic or

intellectual effort, and it imposes on both leader and follower alike the burdens of self-restraint."~Lewis H. Lapham~

Four rules of leadership in a free legislative body:First, no

matter how hard-fought the issue, never get personal. Don't say or do anything that may come back to haunt you on

another issue, another day....Second, do your home

work. You can't lead without knowing what you're talking about....Third, the American legislative

process is one of give and take. Use your power as a leader to persuade, not

intimidate....Fourth, be

considerate of the needs of your colleagues, even if they're at the bottom of the totem pole...."— George Bush

"The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Our is a

world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war that we know

about peace, more about killing that we know about living" - General Omar Nelson Bradley

"I would rather regret the things I have done than the things I have not"

-Lucille Ball

"True statesmanship is the art of changing a nation from

what it is into what it ought to be " - William R. Alger

"I think leadership comes

from integrity - that you do whatever you ask others to do. I think there are no

n-obvious ways to lead. Just by providing a good example as a parent, a friend, a

neighbor makes it possible for other people to see better ways to do things.

Leadership does not need to be a dramatic, fist in the air and trumpets blaring, activity."—

Scott Berkun

"A first-rate organizer is never in a hurry. He is never la

te. He always keeps up his sleeve a margin for the unexpected" –

Arnold Bennett

"Change in all things is sweet" - Aristotle

"Dissatisfaction and discouragement are not caused by the absence of

things but the absence of vision" - Anonymous

"If an

incompetent chieftain is removed, seldom do we appoint his

highest-ranking subordinate to his place" - Attila the Hun

"If you think you are too small to be

effective, you have never been in the dark with a mosquito" - Anonymous

leadership Qualities

Leaders should have energtic personality.

Who have the excelent mind, effective communication, convincing capasity, motivating skill and who will handal team with spirit he has the good leader. A leader should be a good follower. Who will take good decision in right time for right work that person is good leader.
