Angelus' Quote: Boss says, "Go"; the Leader says "Let's Go!"



This is the full quote by H. Gordon Selfriedge (taken from Bits & Pieces):

"The boss drives his men; the leader coaches them.
The boss depends on authority; the leader on goodwill.
The boss inspires fear; the leader inspires enthusiasm.
The boss says 'I'; the leader says 'We.'
The boss fixes the blame for the breakdown; the leader fixes the breakdown.
The boss knows how it is done; the leader shows how.
The boss says 'Go'; the leader says 'Let's go!'"

Angelus' Quote: Leader and Accountability



Being accountable means that you accept responsibility for the outcomes expected of you, both good and bad. You don’t blame others. And you don’t blame things that were out of your control.

Until you take responsibility, you are a victim. And being a victim is the exact opposite of being a leader. Great leaders take the initiative to influence the outcome and take responsibility for the results.

Angelus' Quote: Great Leaders Are Intelligent Followers



Napoleon Hill, the father of the self-help movement, in his classic book, Think and Grow Rich, writes this on leadership:

"Broadly speaking, there are two types of people in the world. One type is known as 'leaders' and the other as 'followers.' Decide at the outset whether you intend to become a leader in your chosen calling, or remain a follower. The difference in compensation is vast. The follower cannot reasonably expect the compensation to which a leader is entitled, although many followers make the mistake of expecting such pay.

There is nothing wrong being a follower. On the other hand, it is no credit to remain a follower. Most great leaders began in the capacity of followers. They became great leaders because they were intelligent followers. With few exceptions, the man who cannot follow a leader intelligently, cannot become an effective leader. The man who can follow a leader most efficiently is usually the man who develops into leadership most rapidly. An intelligent follower has many advantages, among them the opportunity to acquire knowledge from his leader."

Angelus' Quote: Servant Leadership Is > Character but < Style



In his book, Servant Leadership, Robert Greenleaf defines two kinds of leaders. Strong "natural leaders" are those who try to take control, make the decisions, and give the orders in any situation in which they find themselves. They have a need to be in charge. Strong "natural servants," on the other hand, will assume leadership only if they see it as a way in which they can serve.

You would think that "natural leaders" would use a directive, autocratic style while "natural servants" would use a more supportive, participative style. This assumption falls short because it confuses style with character.

I want to be led by strong "natural servants" because they are willing to use whatever leadership style - directive, supportive, or some combination - best serves the needs of those they lead. Remember the primary Biblical image of "servant leadership" is that of the shepherd, because the flock is not there for the sake of the shepherd; the shepherd is there for the sake of the flock.

[Reference: The Heart of a Leader (1999) by Ken Blanchard]
