Leadership is less about the position you hold than the influence you have. It's about doing world-class work, playing at your peak, and leaving people better than you found them. It's about Leading Without a Title.

Robin Sharma

Leadership can't be claimed like luggage at the airport. Leadership can't be inherited, even though you may inherit a leadership position. And leadership can't be given as a gift - even if you've been blessed with an abundance of leadership skills to share with someone else. Leadership must be earned by mastering a defined set of skills and by working with others to achieve common goals.

David Cottrell

How does humility manifest itself in leadership and in life? A humble person is more concerned about what is right than about being right, about acting on good ideas than having the ideas, about embracing new truth than defending outdated position, about building the team than exalting self, about recognizing contribution than being recognized for making it.

Stephen Covey

With the election of Trump, America's soft power has taken a big hit. The United States has moved from a position of leadership in the creation of a rules-based international system to a position of leadership in its destruction and the creation of a regime of global protectionism. The damage will be long-lasting.

Joseph Stiglitz

A thing's innate disposition or God-given nature does not lie; whatever this innate disposition says is the truth.

Said Nursi

I played quarterback, and it was a leadership position, and even though I'm doing a solo thing now, a lot of my success is a part of assembling this team of people who are really, really talented, and their position doesn't put them out front the way mine does, but it's still a team effort.

Sam Hunt

Good culture is born of a good disposition; and since the cause is more to be praised than the effect, I will rather praise a good disposition without culture, than good culture without the disposition.

Leonardo da Vinci

The end point of leadership is not just the position of power we reach, but the continual change and deepening we experience that makes a difference in our lives, our work, our world. Our leadership journeys are only at midpoint when we have achieved a position of power.

Janet Hagberg

It is my disposition to maintain peace until its condition shall be made less tolerable than that of war itself.

Thomas Jefferson

It is not the position, but the disposition.

Susan Sontag

The superior man does what is proper to the station in which he is; he does not desire to go beyond this. In a position of wealth and honor, he does what is proper to a position of wealth and honor. In a poor and low position, he does what is proper to a poor and low position.

Confucius

The quarterback position is a role of leadership, and I feel just who I am as a person, I bring different types of leadership to the table.

Mitchell Trubisky

Leadership means setting an example. When you find yourself in a position of leadership, people follow your every move.

Lee Iacocca

A just society will appear less spectacular, and less clearly defined, than a society with totalitarian leadership, theocratic goals.

B. W. Powe

Life is not so much a matter of position as of disposition.

Andrew Carnegie

Faith is homesickness. Faith is a lump in the throat. Faith is less a position on than a movement toward, less a sure thing than a hunch. Faith is waiting.
