Quotes on Leadership - Hope

"A leader is a dealer in hope." Napoleon Bonaparte Some of the simplest quotes on leadership reveal the biggest truths. We look to a leader to give us hope; hope that they will lead us through our difficulties and into a better future. Napoleon's escape from Elba and his subsequent rallying of the French troops was an example of how a leader can bring hope to his followers. One of the greatest qualities of Sir Winston Churchill, another great leader, was his ability to give hope when there seemed none. Even in the darkest days of the Battle of Britain his words inspired hope in a tired and battered people. The best leaders do not hide reality from their followers but they are able to show them that despite the difficulties there is a way through.
