LEADERSHIP QUOTATIONS

"I always have a quotation for everything - it saves original thinking"

Dorothy L Sayers

Here is a host of quotations about leadership - first some of general leadership interest, and then more - divided into the six pieces of The Leadership Jigsaw:

Vision

Example

Relationships

Motivation

Empowerment

Communications

Most of the following quotes are taken from Alan Cutler's book, 'Leadership Quote Unquote', that introduces the reader to The Leadership Jigsaw and supports its leadership messages with over 120 quotations from the famous, the infamous and the downright dastardly! The publishers, Management Books 2000, described it as 'an inspiring book for aspiring leaders'.

"Hospitality leaders inspire front line staff to make customers feel at home when they wish they actually were!"

“The measure of a man is what he does with power.”

Pittacus

“Without an army, Napoleon was just a man with a hat.”

Anon

“His men will follow him anywhere - if only out of a sense of curiosity.”

Military Officer’s ACR

“Technologies don’t produce quality products or pick up the garbage on time; people do, people who care, people who are treated creatively contributing adults.”

“Around the world, the generals are being ousted, and the poets are taking charge.”

“There is no such thing as a perfect leader either in the past or present, in China or elsewhere. If there is one, he is only pretending; like a pig inserting spring onions in his nose in an effort to look like an elephant.”

Liu Shae-Chi

“Start with good people, lay out the rules, communicate with your employees, motivate them and reward them. If you do all those things effectively, you can’t miss.”

“I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much more authority by someone recognised as wiser than oneself.”

Marlene Dietrich
