“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
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
John Quincy Adams

Vince Lombardi
“The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.”
Ralph Nader
“Most political leaders acquire their position by causing large numbers of people to believe that these leaders are actuated by altruistic desires”
Bertrand Russell
“Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“At this historic moment, the secretary-general calls on Iraq's political leaders to work with resolve towards the early formation of a fully inclusive Government which will strive to build a peaceful, prosperous, democratic and united Iraq.”
