The true measure of the value of any business leader and manager is performance.
~ Brian Tracy
There are pros and cons of experience. A con is that you can't look at the business with a fresh pair of eyes and as objectively as if you were a new CEO.

~ Andrea Jung
Reason and judgment are the qualities of a leader.
~ Tacitus

The one thing I have learned as a CEO is that leadership at various levels is vastly different.

As you move up the organization, the requirements for leading that organization don't grow vertically; they grow exponentially.
~ Indra Nooyi

I demand a lot from myself and reflect this attitude upon others: I consider it to be an important quality for a leader. I also think it is impossible to achieve success without persistence.
~ Yelena Baturina
It will be disastrous when a leader or manager shows up with one attitude one day and treats people with a different attitude the next day.
~ Zig Ziglar
I grew up in Cuba under a strong, military, oppressive dictatorship. So as a teenager, I found myself involved in a revolution. I remember during that time, a young, charismatic leader rose up, talking about hope and change. His name was Fidel Castro.

I usually write about ordinary people and ordinary things, but Paul Farmer is the least ordinary person I've ever met... He's the leader of a small group of people who hope to cure a sick world, and I hope my book can help in some small way.

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.
~ Simon Sinek
I think I'm a natural-born leader. I know how to bow down to authority if it's authority that I respect.
~ Tupac Shakur
Leadership is something you earn, something you're chosen for. You can't come in yelling, 'I'm your leader!' If it happens, it's because the other guys respect you.
~ Ben Roethlisberger
I'm a very consistent leader, and people won't find me different day to day. You won't have to have the sort of conversation that says, 'How is she today? Is this a good day to have this conversation?' You won't find that situation with me. I treat people with respect.
~ Gail Kelly
One of the people that I respect the most now, a person I think has done a heck of a lot for this world as a leader, is Margaret Thatcher. She helped create a world that offers us a lot of excitement as we look to the next century.

A failure to act is a terrible, stunning legacy for any leader. But far worse when it is the president of the United States. And that's the point driven home by Romney's selection of Ryan, who dared to lead when Obama did not.
~ Mark Mckinnon
