Leadership

Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.

Ultimately, leadership is not about glorious crowning acts. It’s about keeping your team focused on a goal and motivated to do their best to achieve it, especially when the stakes are high and the consequences really matter. It is about laying the groundwork for others’ success, and then standing back and letting them shine.

People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader leads, and the boss drives.

Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.

The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.

Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success.

I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion.

The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.

Leadership – leadership is about taking responsibility, not making excuses.

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

No matter how good you think you are as a leader, my goodness, the people around you will have all kinds of ideas for how you can get better. So for me, the most fundamental thing about leadership is to have the humility to continue to get feedback and to try to get better – because your job is to try to help everybody else get better.
