Real leadership is not about prestige, power, or status. It is about responsibility.

Robert L. Joss

We think leadership is about rank and power, but better to think of leadership as the responsibility for other human beings. That leadership and rank may not go together. So it manifests in this remarkable way.

Simon Sinek

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

Mitt Romney

Character in many ways is everything in leadership. It is made up of many things, but I would say character is really integrity. When you delegate something to a subordinate, for example, it is absolutely your responsibility, and he must understand this. You as a leader must take complete responsibility for what the subordinate does. I once said, as a sort of wisecrack, that leadership consists of nothing but taking responsibility for everything that goes wrong and giving your subordinates credit for everything that goes well.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

Leadership is about vision and responsibility, not power.

Seth Berkley

Buck Rodgers

Leadership is about vision and responsibility, not power. And I try to model that in all of my interactions.

Seth Berkley

Most people think leadership is about being in charge. Most people think leadership is about having all the answers and being the most intelligent person or the most qualified person in the room. The irony is that it is the complete opposite. Leadership is about empowering others to achieve things they did not think possible. Leadership is about pointing in the direction, articulating a vision of the world that does not yet exist. Then asking help from others to insure that vision happens.

Simon Sinek

Leadership is about taking charge and influencing others to follow your vision. It's about going against the odds and accepting responsibility for the outcomes along the way

Robin Crow

Leadership happens at every level of the organization and no one can shirk from this responsibility.

Jerry Junkins

Leadership is not about personality, possessions, or charisma, but all about who you are as a person. I used to believe that leadership was about style but now I know that leadership is about substance, namely character.

James Hunter

Leadership deals with people and their dynamics, which are continually changing. The challenge of leadership is to create change and facilitate growth.
