that others can receive
your commands without
feeling humiliated. (Dag

Leadership that does not
contribute to human
happiness does not earn
respect.
Leading means you may
be respected; not
necessarily liked.
To lead, you do not have
to be perfect. Even great
leaders are flawed and
less than perfect. Their
skill is in getting things
done despite the
limitations.
True leaders seek to
practice their skills in as
many settings as
possible.
Few leaders get it right
first time. Leaders
continuously adjust to
achieve their vision.
Effective leadership is
the ability to see what is
needed.
A leader must be always
willing to accept new
information about self
and the impact on
people around.

the crowd is compliance.
Leaders back up
promises with action
which support them.
Ultimately, the leader
has to get results.
Leadership is at a
premium because so
many people are loath to
make irrevocable
decisions, are tepid in
enthusiasm, timid in
their faith in themselves,
afraid of the burden of
responsibility and
undecided about
direction. (O. Tead)
A trait always noticeable
in a successful leader is
his ability to inspire
others. (D. Eisenhower)
Every man of action has
a strong dose of egoism,
pride, hardness and
cunning. But all these
things will be regarded
as high qualities if he can
achieve great ends.
(Charles de Gaulle)
Shows that you are
willing to stand up and
be counted. Thus you put
your personal values on
public display.

the humility to accept
publicly the
responsibility for the
mistakes of subordinates
that he has selected and

for the triumphs. (D.
Eisenhower)

Leadership is speaking
the truth even when
others may refrain or
disagree.
Effective leaders do not
allow setbacks to mar
their confidence. In
adversity does true
leadership emerge. Any
fool can steer the ship
when it is calm.
Few people succeed in
life without stay backs.
Leaders are already to
experience the risks of
people not supporting
them.
Effective leaders want to
know how their
colleagues are
understanding and
interpreting the vision
on the ground.
Third precedes decision;
decision lead to action. A
leader knows when to
cut off the debate phase
and initiate action.
Good leader makes work
more fun than fun.
Leadership is the art of
getting someone else to
do what you want done
because he wants to do
it. (D. Eisenhower)
If one wants to be
successful, one must
think. One must think
until it hurts. (Roy
Thompson)

and therefore more
precious, than the ability
to be able to decide.

leadership is not
whether your men will
follow you in your
success but whether they

ourselves." (Lao Tzu)

want to happen.

They ask "what can I
hear that will move us
forward and how can I
contribute to it?"
