Leadership is not taken, it is given. People give leadership to those that they trust. They allow people that they trust to have influence over their lives.

Henry Cloud

Control is not leadership; management is not leadership; leadership is leadership is leadership. If you seek to lead, invest at least 50% of your time leading yourself-your own purpose, ethics, principles, motivation, conduct. Invest at least 20% leading those with authority over you and 15% leading your peers. If you don't understand that you work for your mislabeled 'subordinates,' then you know nothing of leadership. You know only tyranny.

Dee Hock

A person's own definition of leadership defines the glittering crown of his leadership.

Anuj

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

My own definition of leadership is this: The capacity and the will to rally men and women to a common purpose and the character which inspires confidence.

Bernard Law Montgomery

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

Jeff Van Gundy

Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.

Peter Drucker

There is that definition of leadership that says, 'Leadership is convincing people to do things that they otherwise wouldn't have done because you've made them believe it's the right thing to do.' And a great speech can do that.

Jon Lovett

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

Why wouldn't female Marines come forward? Because they don't trust us. They don't trust the command. They don't trust the leadership.

James F. Amos

Leadership is all about getting results.

Peter Drucker

I think leadership of any kind requires trust and transparency and voters should demand no less from their political leadership in government.

Carly Fiorina

Trust not what inspires other members of society to choose as a career. Trust what inspires you. From this decision alone will come over a third of your satisfaction or misery in your life.

Ernie J Zelinski

Leadership is a mindset that shifts from being a victim to creating results. Any one of us can demonstrate leadership in our work and within our lives.

Robin S. Sharma

If you think that running your economy into the ground and having to send troops in in order to prop up your only ally is leadership, then we've got a different definition of leadership.

Barack Obama

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
