More often than not when we do not like our work, it's not necessarily because of the work itself. But more often because of the people we work with and more importantly because of the lack of leadership. It is amazing how inspired and motivated we can be when we like the people and when we feel like we show up to work because our leaders care about our wellbeing. It is kind of incredible actually.

A good leader shares information, even if they don't know the whole story. Without any information, people create their own, which causes fear and paranoia.

Truly effective and inspiring leaders aren’t actually driven to lead people; they are driven to serve them.

Leaders may inspire, but only when the people decide to act does the leader's vision become a movement.

A poor leader will tell you how many people work for them. A great leader will tell you how many people they work for.

A leader must be inspired by the people before a leader can inspire the people.

It is like when a player has a slump, we do not trade them, we coach them. It is the same with our employees. The best leaders come to the aid of their people, whose performance is down. Not come down harder on them.

The worst leaders are the once that think they have to know as much or more than the people who work with them. The best leaders are the once who know that their employees know hell of a lot more than what they know and willing to admit it whilst expressing the value of their employees.

Leaders don't convince people to follow them. Leaders walk forward alone and those who want to go down their path decide to follow.

We call them leaders because they go first, because they take the risk before anybody else does, because they will choose to sacrifice so their people will be safe and protected,

If you want to be a great leader, remember to treat all people with respect at all times. For one, because you never know when you'll need their help. And two, because it's a sign you respect people, which all great leaders do.

Any great and inspiring leader or organization that ever existed set out to do something completely unrealistic.

Leaders, whatever the size of their organizations, are those willing to put the interests of other people before their own.

Leadership is a choice. It's not a rank, it's a choice. I know many people who are at the top of their organization who have authority. We have to do what they say because they have authority over us. But they're not leaders. We wouldn't follow them. They may be at the top of the company but they're not leaders.

A leader is someone who has the courage to say publicly what everybody else is whispering privately. It is not his insight that sets the leader apart from the crowd. It is his courage to act and speak up when everyone else is silent....are those who would rather challenge what needs to change and pay the price than remain silent and die on the inside.

Next generation leaders are those who would rather challenge what needs to change and pay the price than remain silent and die on the inside

Your response to opportunities, adversities and calling, determine the type of leader you become.

The moment a leader steps away from his core competencies, his effectiveness as a leader diminishes.

Leaders are made one response at a time.

As leaders, we are never responsible for filling anyone else's cup. Our responsibility is to empty ours.

A good coach always coaches to a leader's potential, not his current level of performance. A good leadership coach will see the potential in you and inspire you accordingly.

The leader who refuses to move until the fear is gone will never move. Consequently, he will never lead.

Where there is no uncertainty, there is no longer the need for leadership. The greater the uncertainty, the greater the need for leadership. Your capacity as a leader will be determined by how well you learn to deal with uncertainty.

The greatest thing you do as a leader may not be what you do as a leader but who watches you do what you do.
