"I am personally convinced that one person can be a change catalyst, a 'transformer' in any situation, any organization. Such an individual is yeast that can leaven an entire loaf. It requires vision, initiative, patience, respect, persistence, courage, and faith to be a transforming leader."	Stephen R. Covey
"You don't have to hold a position in order to be a leader."	Anthony J. D'Angelo

"The great leaders have always stage-managed their effects."	General Charles De Gaulle
"I must follow the people. Am I not their leader?"	Benjamin "Dizzy" Disraeli
"Leadership is not magnetic personality--that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not 'making friends and influencing people'--that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person's vision to higher sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations."	Peter F(erdinand) Drucker
"Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes."	Peter F(erdinand) Drucker
"The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office."	Dwight David Eisenhower
"A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or regard that quality in its chosen leaders today--and in fact we have forgotten."	Euripides
"The question is not whether you're frightened or not, but whether you or the fear is in control. If you say, 'I won't be frightened,' and then you experience fear, most likely you'll succumb to it, because you're paying attention to it. The correct thing to tell yourself is, 'If I do get frightened, I will stay in command.'"	Herbert Fenstermeim
"I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about."	Henry Ford
"Today a reader--tomorrow a leader."	W. Fusselman
"Polling is merely an instrument for gauging public opinion. When a president or any other leader pays attention to poll results, he is, in effect, paying attention to the views of the people. Any other interpretation is nonsense."	George Horace Gallup
"Leaders come in many forms, with many styles and diverse qualities. There are quiet leaders and leaders one can hear in the next county. Some find strength in eloquence, some in judgment, some in courage."	John W(illiam) Gardner
"Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions."	Harold S. Geneen
"I'm not a natural leader. I'm too intellectual; I'm too abstract; I think too much."	Newt Gingrich
"One of the true tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency."	Arnold H. Glasgow
"Good leaders must first become good servants."	Robert Greenleaf
"The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet."	Theodore M. Hesburgh
"The leader has to be practical and a realist, yet must talk the language of the visionary and the idealist."	Eric Hoffer
