Quotes on Leadership - Taking Care of Others






"Leadership is not about being in charge. It is about taking care of those in your charge." - Simon Sinek


This statement by Simon Sinek serves as a potent reminder that leadership is about caring for and assisting the people who are under our charge rather than exercising authority or control over them. It is our duty as team leaders to make sure that everyone in our team has the tools and encouragement they require to succeed.

Understanding our team members' wants and concerns and being able to empathise with them is one of the most crucial components of leadership. We may create plans and offer resources by taking the time to comprehend each person's particular requirements.


In addition to offering assistance, it is crucial for leaders to have open lines of communication so that team members may offer feedback and express their ideas and worries. This will make it easier to make sure that everyone is cooperating to achieve a single objective and that any problems are resolved quickly. Setting an example for our team members is another crucial component of leadership. We can motivate our team members to give their all and strive for greatness by setting an excellent example and having high expectations for everyone. In summary, leadership is about caring for the people we are responsible for, recognising their needs and issues, offering assistance and resources, having clear communication channels, and so 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.
