Self-security will be a hallmark of the leaders and exceptional organizations of the future. Self-security in an individual or a
system brings a high ratio of coherence. Leaders or organizations with self-security can push power and authority
downstream and develop centers of innovation and excellence at all levels of the organization.

Leaders grow; they are not made.

To work in the world lovingly means that we are defining what we will be for, rather than reacting to what we are against.

The only test of leadership is that somebody follows.

Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership is about
inspiration—of oneself and of others. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes. Leadership is not a
formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an
attitude, not a routine.
More than anything else today, followers believe they are part of a system, a process that lacks heart. If there is one
thing a leader can do to connect with followers at a human, or better still a spiritual level, it is to become engaged with
them fully, to share experiences and emotions, and to set aside the processes of leadership we have learned by rote.

Blessed is the leader who seeks the best for those he serves.
Peter F. Drucker
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.

American philanthropic custom owes much to leadership by business and professional people.
Lao Tzu
A leader is best when people barely know he exists, not so good when people obey and acclaim him, worse when they despise him....But of a good leader who talks little when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say, "We did it ourselves.
Chinese proverb
An army of a thousand is easy to find, but, ah, how difficult to find a general.
Lao Tzu
Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become
a leader among men.
Donald H. McGannon
Leadership is action, not position.
Fred Smith
Leadership is getting people to work for you when they are not obligated.

A real leader faces the music, even when he doesn't like the tune.

Leadership should be more participative than directive, more enabling than performing.
