Leadership Quotes:

Filed under: Quotes

Here are some of the favorite quotes on leadership and management that I come across that I would like to share. The last quote is a great case of leadership by example:

we have, i fear, confused power with greatness. —– Udall

we thought, because we had power, we had wisdom. —- Benet

Children have never been good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
—– James Baldwin

Only a Better Way

I just thought this is a great quote. It comes from a Rolex watch commercial:

History is written by those who realize there’s never a right way. ONLY a BETTER Way.

Here’s a quote that reinforces the lesson of knowing what happened:

Every manager knows how to count, but smart manager knows what counts.
