Leadership. That ineffable quality that some people radiate.

The ability to intuit what's


possible and elicit what's needed. Vision, clarity, power.

Whether you're an entrepreneur or a business owner or a family member, you are a


leader somewhere in your life. And the quality of your leadership often determines the
quality of your life.

Here are a few quotes to keep you inspired to keep growing and expanding into the
greatest leader you can be:

satisfy personal greed." -- Mwai Kibaki (Kenyan politician)

his aim fulfilled, they will all say: We did it ourselves." -- Lao-Tzu

3. "Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and


making sure that impact lasts in your absence." -- Sheryl Sandberg

4. "People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring
others together." -- Michelle Obama

leadership." -- Nelson Mandela

work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless
sea." -- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost
confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a
failure of leadership." -- General Colin Powell

out to lead people through the dark." -- Whoopi Goldberg

his share of the credit." -- Arnold H. Glasow

leadership." -- Dwight D. Eisenhower

14. "People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision." -- John C. Maxwell

15. "Today a reader, tomorrow a leader." -- Margaret Fuller

16. "I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting
along with people." -- Mahatma Gandhi

17. "The world needs new leadership, but the new leadership is about working
together." -- Jack Ma
