25 Leadership Maxims
by Brant goose Filson
"We wish ne'er
cognize how actually nice we are as leaders unless we are leading folk to be better than they think they are."
"Poor performance is less harmful to a leader than mediocre performance disguised as nice performance."
"Most leaders are attempt to get the wrong results or the right results in the wrong ways."
"The lowest forms of leadership involve rewards and punishments."
"Getting on
is not necessarily deed results."
"If you can't feel it, you can't lead it, and they won't do it."
"Leadership is the trim tab of all careers."
"Leadership is seeing hope in any adversity."
"To do a difference, be the difference."
"In leadership, you don't have to expect the worse, you simply have to do the most of it once
it happens."
"The better leaders do use of the simplest of ideas."
"If you are always right, you are commonly wrong."
"The better way for a leader to communicate an idea is to bundle it in a human being."
"The most persuasive art of leadership is to hide your leadership."
"Refraining from action is sometimes the better action."
"It's not so more what you say as a leader that's important; it's the action the folk take after you have had your say."
"In leadership, the value of every need is in its use."
"Leadership is not simply about living a easy life for ourselves but a hard life for others."
"We ourselves are our own biggest obstacles to becoming better leaders."
"Leadership is showing folk not that they must take a certain action but that they GET TO take that action."
"Half the art of listening is waiting."
"To get the better out of people, embrace the better in them."
"People are often unaware of the better that's in them. Once
you show it to them, you are half way down the road to motivating them to be your cause leaders."
"Achievement necessarily three things, the leader, the cause leader, and the moment."
"In the long run, the most important results of leadership are not what we attain but what we become in that achieving."
