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.”
Tom Peters
“Around the world, the generals are being
ousted, and the poets are taking
charge.”
Warren Bennis
“There is no such thing as a perfect leader
either in the past or present, in
Chinaor 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.”
Lee Iacocca
“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
