he wants to do it.

to help those who are doing well to do even better.

The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say "I". And that's not
because they have trained themselves not to say "I". They don't think "I". They think
"we"; they think "team". They understand their job to be to make the team function.
They accept responsibility and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the credit. This is what
creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.
- Peter F. Drucker

that all along they are being directed from behind.

The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be
bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud,
but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.
- Jim Rohn
No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit
for doing it. - Andrew Carnegie
It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you
celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is
danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
- Nelson Mandela
I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along
with people. - Mohandas Gandhi
Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other. - John F. Kennedy
Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline,
carrying it out. - Stephen Covey
Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no
leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders
seize the opportunity to change things for the better.
- Harry S. Truman
