To me, leadership is helping people do their best. If you define leadership that way, I don't think it's overrated.

Debra L. Reed

Leaders create and inspire new leaders by instilling faith in their leadership abilities and helping them develop and hone leadership skills they don't know they possess.

John C. Maxwell

There are a lot of good men out there who just need a little direction and leadership in order for them to offer what they have to young men and boys.

John Eldredge

If you want to be a great leader, you have to put the interest of the country above your own. I would like to think that true leadership is not just telling people what they want to hear but helping them understand things, so you can explain to them what you think is best, and then they can judge you on that.

Lynn Novick

If there is anything I would like to be remembered for it is that I helped people understand that leadership is helping other people grow and succeed. To repeat myself, leadership is not just about you. It's about them

Jack Welch

I know some say, let us have good laws, and no matter for the men that execute them: but let them consider, that though good laws do well, good men do better: for good laws may want good men, and be abolished or evaded [invaded in Franklin's print] by ill men; but good men will never want good laws, nor suffer ill ones.

Patrick Henry

The height of ability in the least able consists in knowing how to submit to the good leadership of others.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Every team has leadership. The leadership is the best players. But there's positive leadership, and there's negative leadership.

Jeff Van Gundy

The best government in the world, the best religion, the best traditions of any people, depend upon the good or evil of the men and women who administer them.

Pearl S. Buck

Women lead in ways different from men's. Men, I think, have been programmed to give orders. Women have been programmed to motivate people, to educate them, to bring out the best in them. Ours is a less authoritarian leadership. I think women tend to play hardball less often. This is the trend of office politics anyway: the days of warring factions are over. We're talking now in terms of cooperation, and I think that is the game women play best.

Muriel Fox

Leadership is helping yourself and other people achieve goals. The ability to direct your life to get the results you want is leadership.

Cass Elliot

I want to help young coaches have an experience like I've had. But mostly, I want to take the prized possession of every parent by taking their children and helping them grow and helping mentor them and helping them teach me.

Mack Brown

The career of a movie star consists of helping everyone else forget their troubles. Using charm and beauty and good cheer to make life look easy.

Chuck Palahniuk

Good leadership consists of showing average people how to do the work of superior people.

John D. Rockefeller

Even if they don't know that you are practicing for them, you are helping them and in turn they are helping you. They are actively helping you to develop your compassion, and so to purify and heal yourself. For me, all dying people are teachers, giving to all those who help them a chance to transform themselves through developing their compassion.

Sogyal Rinpoche

The third class consists of men to whom nothing seems great but reason. If force interests them, it is not in its exertion, but in that it has a reason and a law. For men of the first class, nature is a picture; for men of the second class, it is an opportunity; for men of the third class, it is a cosmos, so admirable, that to penetrate to its ways seems to them the only thing that makes life worth living. These are the men whom we see possessed by a passion to learn.

Charles Sanders Peirce
