    "'What Needs to Be Done', Peter Drucker On Leadership". Interview with Rich Karlgaard in Forbes magazine, November 19, 2004.
  • A successful person finds the right place for himself. But a successful leader finds the right place for others. By John Maxwell

    John C. Maxwell (2011). “The Maxwell Daily Reader: 365 Days of Insight to Develop the Leader Within You and Influence Those Around You”, Thomas Nelson
  • The true measure of a successful leader is their ability to discover the hidden talent in those they lead and challenge them to achieve greatness. If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you are right.

  • Highly successful leaders ignore conventional wisdom and take chances. Their stories inevitably include a defining moment or key decision when they took a significant risk and thereby experienced a breakthrough.

  • Successful leaders have the courage to take action while others hesitate.

  • The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.

  • A successful person finds the right place for himself. But a successful leader finds the right place for others. Few things in life are better than seeing people realize their potential. If you invest in people by helping individuals improve themselves, showing them the way to their “right place”, they will never be the same again. And neither will you. It is impossible to help others without helping yourself.

  • If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.

  • COURAGE isn't an absence of fear. It is doing what you are afraid to do, letting go of the familiar and forging ahead into new territory. What I have discovered is that the best leaders have the courage to act - are willing to take the risk, make the statement, point the way, lead the way - when others hesitate out of fear. Effective leadership requires the ability to stand up, stand out, and the conviction to do it. I have never known a successful leader that was not courageous.

    FaceBook post by John C. Maxwell from Oct 06, 2014
  • A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.

    "Biography/Personal Quotes". www.imdb.com.
  • Successful leaders are great askers

  • Successful leaders develop effective strategies for maintaining their boundaries. ... Most time bandits don't know any better. And being a time bandit is a matter of context. One person's time bandit is another person's pleasant diversion. ... Instead of gritting our teeth to be polite and resenting the time bandit for holding us up, the best choice is to be honest. We cannot expect another person to honor our needs unless we affirm them ourselves.

  • Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.

    "Executive's Portfolio of Model Speeches for All Occasions". Book by Dianna Daniels Booher, 1991.
  • The successful leader does not talk down to people. He lifts them up.

  • People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader leads, and the boss drives.

  • I do think stories are one of the best tools for communicating across any number of cultures. But I also think there are wildly successful leaders who are introverted, disciplined, lead via spreadsheets and goals, and might not "appear" to be a great leader...but in retrospect, made a massive impact.

  • The most successful leader of all is the one who sees another picture not yet actualized. He sees the things which are not yet there... Above all, he should make his co-workers see that it is not his purpose which is to be achieved, but a common purpose, born of the desires and the activities of the group.

  • If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, then, you are an excellent leader.
