2. Theres nothing more difficult than being a great
leader!
Few cancomprehend the pain of a leader. Are you willing to take on
the woes of the people? It may be your familys woes, your kids
woes, your companys woes, or your teams woes, but a great leader is
one who deals with the woes, the concerns, and the very heart of
the people.
3. 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.
John Updike
4. The hallmark of great leaders is their ability to
producegreat leaders.
Inadequate leaders create followers, but great leaders produce more
leaders.Through patience, and discipline, great leaders create more
great leaders.
5. The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not
more followers.
Ralph Nader
6. You must effectively lead your team to victory.
Being a great leader is not a matter of having a great title, or
even being in a position of great leadership.They say an army of
lambs led by a lion will defeat an army of lions led by a lamb.
Leadership is the key to all success, so here are 7 signs of a
great leader that you must know.
7. Sign One : They Take the Lead
A great leader takes charge! They motivate their people to do what
they dont want to do; they motivate their people to do what they
think cant be done; they motivate their people to do what theyre
too tired to do. They motivate their people to grow! And when its
all said and done, theyve motivate their people to
succeed.
8. Leadership is getting someone to do what they dont want to
do, to achieve what they want to achieve.
Tom Landry
9. Sign Two : They Lead by Example
Leadership is not about your position or the words you say,
leadership is about your actions and your attitude. A great leader
leads through his actions and his attitude. He or she is the first
partaker of the gospel that they preach. A great leader doesnt sit
on the sidelines; a great leader gets involved in the
game.
10. The basketball player Larry Bird said, Leadership is diving
for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players
involved. Its being able to take it as well as dish it out. Thats
the only way youre going to get respect from the
players.
11. Sign Three : They Lead With Compassion
A great leader must be as focused as a lion, but they must also be
as gentle as a lamb. A great leader leads with compassion, always
considering theemotions and perspectives of others. A great leader
doesnt use their position to trample over the feelings of others;
they use their position to grow and develop others.
12. You dont lead by hitting people over the head thats
assault, not leadership.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
13. Sign Four : They Accept Responsibility
A leader is ultimately responsible for the results of those whom
they lead; the good results, the bad results, and the down-right
ugly results. This is why many refuse to be leaders; the
responsibility is often overwhelming, and the success, which
depends on others, can seem impossible.
14. The woes of the people surely deter the desire to lead. But
great leaders will rise above these afflictions and will emerge
victorious in the face of seeming impossibilities.
15. A great leader will patiently teach, and then lead their
team to victory. A great leader will lead in the front when there
is danger, and will take responsibility for failure; they will lead
from behind when there is victory, so that those who follow get the
credit.
16. He who is a leader must always act alone. And acting alone,
accept everything alone.
Ferdinand Marcos
17. Sign Five : They Know Where Theyre Going
A great leader paints a compelling vision that people want to
follow. But it doesnt stop there; a great leader then provides the
action steps necessary to ensure the vision becomes a reality. A
great leader knows that nothing just happens.
18. I like what Harry Truman said, he said, Men make history
and not the other way around. In periods where there is no
leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous,
skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the
better.
19. Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into
reality.
Warren G. Bennis
20. Sign Six : They Know How to Get There
A great leader knows how to get to their destination. In the
process of getting there they may have to inflict short-term pain
so that others can receive long-term gain. Sometimes pain is
necessary for gain. Sometimes pressure is needed before you get the
promise. A great leader may have to sacrifice the comfort of some
immediate friendships.
21. Leadership is, among other things, the ability to inflict
pain and get away with it short-term pain for long-term gain.
George Will
22. Sign Seven : They Will Get There
When its all said and done, nothing matters but the results.
Results are something that you cant argue with. They say the proof
of the pudding is in the eating, and they are right. A great leader
will eventually lead their team to victory. Victory is paramount;
it is the chief sign of a great leader.
23. Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being
liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes
Peter Drucker
24. Decide to become a great leader today. Manypeople
aredepending on you, dont let them down.
25. A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader
takes people where they dont necessarily want to go, but ought to
be.-Rosalynn Carter
