Ninety percent of leadership is the ability to communicate something people want.

Leadership that exploits and sacrifices young people on the altar of its goals is nothing more than raw demonic power. Genuine leadership is found in ceaseless efforts to foster young people to pave the way forward for them.

The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense in fact the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.

Most people associate command and control leadership with the military.

I think a major act of leadership right now call it a radical act is to create the places and processes so people can actually learn together using our experiences.

I think it is quite dangerous for an organisation to think they can predict where they are going to need leadership. It needs to be something that people are willing to assume if it feels relevant given the context of any situation.

I am endlessly fascinated that playing football is considered a training ground for leadership but raising children isn't. Hey it made me a better leader: you have to take a lot of people's needs into account you have to look down the road. Trying to negotiate getting a couple of kids to watch the same TV show requires serious diplomacy.

Leadership is hard to define and good leadership even harder. But if you can get people to follow you to the ends of the earth you are a great leader.

The trouble with the Labour Party leadership and the trade union leadership they're quite willing to applaud millions on the streets of the Philippines or in Eastern Europe without understanding the need to also produce millions of people on the streets of Britain.

A leader is one who out of madness or goodness volunteers to take upon himself the woe of the people. There are few men so foolish hence the erratic quality of leadership in the world.

The secret to understanding me is I'm not trying to be anybody other than who I actually am. People want candid refreshing leadership. And I've always tried to go with solutions. You know I've always tried to say here's how we get our economy growing here's why we get our debt under control. That's what Mitt Romney is offering.

I think we need the feminine qualities of leadership which include attention to aesthetics and the environment nurturing affection intuition and the qualities that make people feel safe and cared for.

I have a different vision of leadership. A leadership is someone who brings people together.

The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership.

Leadership is a matter of having people look at you and gain confidence seeing how you react. If you're in control they're in control.

You don't lead by hitting people over the head - that's assault not leadership.

What helps people helps business.

You're only as good as the people you hire.

The secret of my success is a two word answer: Know people.

The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.

People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.

Leadership is unlocking people's potential to become better.

People who don't take risks generally make about two big mistakes a year. People who do take risks generally make about two big mistakes a year.

The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.
