The Realities of
So many times quotes tend to glorify without going into the gritty realities of being a leader. You should know that it is hard sometimes. You may have to turn your back on friendships or even popular consensus. This is exemplified in the following quote by Robert Coles: “Abraham Lincoln did not go to Gettysburg having commissioned a poll to find out what would sell in Gettysburg. There were no people with percentages for him, cautioning him about this group or that group or what they found in exit polls a year earlier. When will we have the courage of Lincoln? Sometimes you have to possess the courage of Lincoln when you lead.
A Balance of Emotions
Leaders are often called on to demonstrate a dogged determination and dominance to reach the company’s goals. However, there are always exceptions that will come up that call on leaders to react sensitively and show their “human side.” That was never more obvious than on September 11, 2001. As you sat at work and heard about the Twin Towers falling, you worried about your safety, your family’s safety and your country’s safety. Most leaders decided to stop normal business operations and called their employees into conference rooms and asked how everyone was doing. Some employees were allowed to go home if they were too distressed. A famous quote came from American civil right activist Jesse Jackson who said: “Leaders must be tough enough to fight, tender enough to cry, human enough to make mistakes, humble enough to admit them, strong enough to absorb the pain, and resilient enough to bounce back and keep on moving.”
Ability to Motivate
Leadership quotes also capture a leader's ability to motivate. President John Quincy Adams stated: “If your action inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
