Quotes by Henry Bonilla

I fell in love with the topic of leadership. For three decades, that has been a major focus of my hands-on work: listening to and working with leaders, their teams and their organizations.

Quotes by Henry Cloud

What happens with a lot of leaders is that their leadership style is like ADD; they are all over the place with different ideas. They could be driving one idea forward but then move on to something else too soon.

Quotes by Henry Cloud

In a very real way, ownership is the essence of leadership. When you are 'ridiculously in charge,' then you own whatever happens in a company, school, et cetera.

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.

Quotes by Harry S Truman

Quotes by Harriet Harman

Actually, I don't ever think there will be a men-only team of leadership in the Labour party again. People would look at it and say, 'What? Are there no women in the party to be part of the leadership? Do men want to do it all themselves?' It just won't happen again.

Quotes by Harriet Harman

Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions.

Quotes by Grover Norquist

Leadership is leading by example.

Quotes by Greg Gianforte

Women need to be in key operational roles where they run businesses in the organization. Sometimes when organizations focus on leadership diversity, they're mostly in areas like HR or non-operating line functions.

Quotes by George Soros

I had the closest thing I have ever had to an out-of-body experience lying in bed one morning. I turned on the 'Today' programme and item four on the news was: 'The shadow chancellor has ruled himself out of the leadership.' I lay there thinking that's interesting, then I realised it was me.

Quotes by George Osborne

I'm not a legislator. I've never been a lobbyist. I've never worked a session before, but based on my conversations with leadership in the Senate and the House, I get the general sense that people want to work together to make things happen.

And when I left, we were stronger, we were safer, and we were more united than at any time in my lifetime.

Quotes by George Pataki

Across Africa there is what I call a colonialist mentality or orthodoxy. Orthodoxy in the sense that a lot of things have gone wrong in Africa in the post-colonial period. And time and time again, any time something went wrong, the leadership claims that it was never their fault.

Quotes by Gene Cernan

Quotes by Gautam Gambhir

I've always maintained - a captain is only as good as his team. It is not about my leadership, it is not about me.

Quotes by Gautam Gambhir

Californians are blessed with the remarkable leadership of Gov. Jerry Brown, who... has led our state to firm fiscal footing and brought us to the enviable position of dreaming - and achieving - big dreams again.

Quotes by Gavin Newsom

The intersection of political analysis and Internet theory is a busy crossroad of cliche, where familiar rhetorical vehicles - decentralized authority, emergent leadership, empowered grass roots - create a ceaseless buzz.

Quotes by Gary Wolf

People more than ever since I can remember are concerned about being out of step and out of line with their political party and won't cross over. There is nobody, man or woman, who wants to be left out, and people are fearful of that. People are fearful of their leadership as well.

Quotes by Fred Ehrsam

It does make it very clear, you know, what can happen if you do have... the right people, the right skill mix, that are trained and they're assembled in this team and they work together under the right leadership. You know, what a miracle can happen. And that's what was the case of Apollo 13.

Quotes by Fred Haise

Party domination and State leadership are concepts incompatible with one another.

Quotes by Franz von Papen

Michael Bradley has the stuff of leadership; he works hard and can break up the opponent's play. However, that's not enough to justify his philanthropic attitude towards possession, the generous portion of balls that he contributes to his foes. His sloppiness constantly culminates in unnecessary goals.

Quotes by Franklin Foer

Having served in the Nixon Administration, I am well aware of how the political leadership of an administration can try to politicize the civil service, including law enforcement.

Quotes by Francis Maude

Leadership is a matter of how to be - not how to do it.

Quotes by Frances Hesselbein

Leadership is not a basket of tricks or strategies or skills that you pull out. Leadership begins with the quality of the person.

Quotes by Frances Hesselbein

Quotes by Frances Hesselbein

Leadership flows from inner character and integrity of ambition, which inspires others to lend themselves to your organization's mission.

Quotes by Frances Hesselbein

Quotes by Eva Moskowitz

In the long march of history, at least two poles of attraction and antagonism have been the norm in world politics. Rarely has only one nation carried the burden of leadership. The unipolar world of the 21st century, dominated for the past two decades by the United States, is a historical anomaly.

Quotes by Eskinder Nega

I am not saying that during the Second World War Germany did not, under the leadership of the National Socialist government, commit crimes.

Quotes by Ernst Zundel

Leadership is the key to 99 percent of all successful efforts.

Quotes by Erskine Bowles

Quotes by Eric Schmidt

I have spent a lifetime watching kids make mistakes because they were not trained or well led or properly motivated to do well. I never faulted the kids; rather, I saw opportunity to train, to motivate, to improve leadership - not to punish the individual.

Quotes by Eric Shinseki

And this administration and this House leadership have said, quote-unquote, they will stop at nothing to pass this health care bill. And now they've gotten rid of me and it will pass. You connect the dots.

Quotes by Eric Massa

I am leaving because I have to fight simultaneously a potential recurrence of cancer the Democratic leadership, a health care bill that's going to destroy this country, my opposition to it and a belief that my party has become what it became - what it campaigned against.

Quotes by Eric Massa

In any leadership, whenever you're facing a tough challenge, find ways to bring people together and get them to serve together.

Quotes by Eric Greitens

Quotes by Ellen Tauscher

Many high school students are under so much competitive pressure. They are sometimes taught that if they don't have a 4.0 GPA, score in the 99th percentile on admissions tests, and demonstrate leadership in sports and participate in clubs, they won't get into college anywhere. Even highly credentialed professionals get caught up in this.

Quotes by Elizabeth Thornton

To be an objective leader means aligning your models with the needs of the organization. There is no question anymore that collaboration, seeking out diverse perspectives and developing new ways to look at challenges and opportunities, is a key leadership competency.

I think President Obama could have handled politics and policies differently. But he has been decisive, strong, and consistent - important qualities in a president. Mitt Romney is indeed an Etch A Sketch, the antithesis of leadership.

Quotes by Eliot Spitzer

If they show the leadership they have demonstrated in the last few elections, they can bring changes even greater than my generation achieved.
