Good leaders being scarce, following yourself is allowed.

Amy Hempel

I don't mind following good leaders.

Baron Davis

Leaders stand out. Good leaders succeed. Great leaders make a difference in the world.

Cheryl Richardson

Humanity has a strange fondness for following processions. Get four men following a banner down the street, and, if that banner is inscribed with rhymes of pleasant optimism, in an hour, all the town will be afoot, ready to march to whatever tune the leaders care to play.

John Dos Passos

What would men be without women? Scarce, sir...mighty scarce.

Mark Twain

What makes a good follower? The single most important characteristic may well be a willingness to tell the truth. In a world of growing complexity leaders are increasingly dependent on their subordinates for good information, whether the leaders want to hear it or not. Followers who tell the truth and leaders who listen to it are an unbeatable combination.

Warren G. Bennis

What I didn't appreciate about myself is that I'm good at coaching leaders.

Julia Hartz

Good leaders are focused, directive, and inspiring... in other words, purposeful. People want to look up to leaders, not because they think they are better than us, but because good leaders provide us with a sense of purpose that inspires us to do better.

John Baldoni

I do believe that leaders have to be held to a higher standard, especially Christian leaders. I put myself in that camp.

Max Lucado

Poor leaders motivate those following them with false promises of promotions, success, and a great tomorrow but rarely deliver on those promises. Leaders who do this can be manipulative and often hold the goals and aspirations of their followers hostage in order to get them to comply.

Lewis Howes

Once there are good sentences on the page, I can feel a loyalty to them and start following their logic, and take refuge from myself.

Jonathan Franzen

yet it seems Life scarce can cast a fragrance on the wind, Scarce spread a glory to the morning beams, But the torn petals strew the garden plot; And there's but common greenness after that.

William Butler Yeats

What would men be without women? Scarce, sir, mighty scarce. Mark Twain Women are an alien race set down among us.

John Updike

Midway along the journey of our life I woke to find myself in a dark wood, for I had wandered off from the straight path. How hard it is to tell what it was like, this wood of wilderness, savage and stubborn (the thought of it brings back all my old fears), a bitter place! Death could scarce be bitterer. But if I would show the good that came of it I must talk about things other than the good.
