Quotes on Leadership : Please help me...

I've been posting on this blog for a little while and I'm getting quite a few people stopping by BUT...

I still have no idea whether a) you find it useful, b) why you came here and c) whether you want different stuff?

I set up the blog mostly for my own amusement but enough people are reading it for me to ask these questions.

So please....leave some comments...good or bad...I just want to know!

Thanks for your time

In researching for quotes for my graduate paper, I found your blog. I love the quotations you are collecting and will definitely flag it for future use. The only problem now is I have to find the same quote on another site to document it (no author listed) ... hope this helps. :-)

I needed to find out who first said "It is easier to beg forgiveness than to ask for permission" (Tim Ferriss) - Google led me right to your door.

You may have felt like giving up all this time ago, but you still have a valid blog. And people still flock to your door, led here by Google. So pick up the baton if you can, and carry on.

Quotes on Leadership : Lead By Example

Example is not the main thing in influencing others, it is the only thing. Albert Schweitzer A leader can shape his followers best by showing them the way forward rather than telling them  about it. If you want to show your team how important serving your clients is make sure that they can see  you taking it seriously and going the extra mile.  If they can see that you are committed they are more likely to follow your example. To paraphrase Gandhi if you want to make a change be the best example of that change and others  will follow.

Quotes on Leadership - Being A Follower

"He who has never learned to obey cannot be a good commander" - Aristotle There is a discipline involved in being a good follower. It's not always easy to obey command with which you don't agree. As a follower you do so because you accept that you are being led and that your leader may have a bigger vision than your own. In addition you respect that decision because it has been made by a leader you have accepted. When a follower becomes a leader the experience of learning to obey is enormously valuable. The leader who has been a good follower can understand the frustrations of being led and can take that into account in making and implementing decisions.

Quotes on Leadership - Beg Forgiveness

If it's a good idea, go ahead and do it. It is much easier to apologize than it is to get permission. - Admiral Grace Hopper The idea behind this quote is the same as Tim Ferriss' motto "It's better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission". It highlights an important element of leadership - leaders don't always seek permission to do the right thing. If seeking permission would take too long or could prevent them doing what they need to do good leaders will often ignore the rules and clear up the mess later. That takes courage and confidence in your own judgement but if you take the action for the right reasons it's a risk worth taking.
