When we do more than we are paid to do, eventually we will be paid more for what we do.
Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire team-mates and customers.
Leadership is not about executive position or title. It is about connection and influence. At its highest, leadership is all about adding value to the world and blessing lives through the work you do.
Servant-leader ship is all about making the goals clear and then rolling your sleeves up and doing whatever it takes to help people win. In that situation, they don’t work for you, you work for them.
Speak up. Believe in yourself. Take risks.
And it’s those who start with why, that have the ability to inspire those around them or find others who inspire them.
The leaders who get the most out of their people are the leaders who care most about their people.
Leadership is not about being in charge. Leadership is about taking care of those in your charge.
There are leaders and there are those who lead. Leaders hold a position of power or influence. Those who lead inspire us.
When we tell people to do their jobs, we get workers. When we trust people to get the job done, we get leaders.
A small team, committed to a cause bigger than themselves, can achieve absolutely anything.
Great leaders must have two things: a vision of the world that does not yet exist and the ability to communicate that vision clearly.
Bad leaders care about who is right. Good leaders care about what is right.
A leader’s job is not to do the work for others; it’s to help others figure out how to do it themselves, to get things done and to succeed beyond what they thought possible.
Leadership is neither a rank nor a title. It is a choice. The choice to provide care and protection for those for whom we are responsible.
Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.
Leadership is the capacity to influence others through inspiration motivated by passion, generated by vision, produced by a conviction, ignited by a purpose.
The best leaders are the ones who show their true colors not during the banner years but during times of struggle.
When a manager openly expresses his faith in an employee’s skill, he doesn’t just improve mood and motivation; he actually improves their likelihood of succeeding.
The servant leader is servant first. It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve.
