Ponder what it takes to be a true leader with these practical quotes that will lead you to a more precise understanding of the secrets to successful leadership...

    --Anonymous

  • "No person can be a great leader unless he takes genuine joy in the successes of those under him."
    --W. H. Auden

    --Warren Bennis

  • "No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it."

    --Russell H. Ewing

  • "Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions. "
    -- Harold Geneen

    --Arnold Glasow

    -- John Kenneth Galbraith

  • "The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet."
    --Theodore Hesburgh

  • "The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on... The genius of a good leader is to leave behind him a situation which common sense, without the grace of genius, can deal with successfully."
    --Walter Lippmann

  • "Leadership is getting someone to do what they don't want to do, to achieve what they want to achieve."
    --Tom Landry

  • "Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them."
    --John Maxwell

  • "The real leader has no need to lead-- he is content to point the way."
    -- Henry Miller

    --Thomas J. Watson

    --Sam Walton
