The Effective Leadership Prototype for a Modern Day Leader Quotes

“Smart leaders always ask: "Who is important to us? What is important to us? Why is it important to us? How many things are important to us? And for how long will it be important to us?" They ask all these questions before embarking on the problem-solving process, because they are determined to come up with the right and sustainable solutions.”

“When there is a problem, a smart leader does not ignore it and hopes it goes away. He tackles it head-on because he knows that until it is solved, it will continue to exist.”

“Effective leaders are able to account for what they have done and what they still need to do because they understand the power of looking back and reflecting, as well as looking ahead and planning.”

“Effective leaders are often moved by the needs of their followers and the need to accomplish a collective vision. That is why they are able to make the right moves and win big.”

“Effective leaders continue to influence others, even when their tenure ends because for them, leadership is not only about the position, it is about making a good contribution.”

“Effective leaders never wait for people to tell them what needs to be done. They know when something needs to be done. They consult with relevant people and do what needs to be done.”

“Leaders should not always wait to be told what to do. They should always be on the lookout for what needs to be done. Leadership is about giving hope to those being led.”

“Leaders who do not learn from the mistakes of past leaders are likely to make more mistakes than their predecessors. Leadership is about learning what worked and what did not, in order to avoid repeating things that never worked.”

“Leaders who love their societies do not hide behind excuses. Even when there are reasons to derail from finding solutions, they always come up with effective solutions.”

“Every leader will always face opposition. But great leaders cannot be disturbed by the tricks of the opposition. They are always driven to help their followers achieve their goals.”

“Great leaders are always mindful of the need to be accountable. Whatever they do is within the ambit of the law. Not only do they abide by the rules of law, they also adhere to ethical principles.”

“Great leaders can never go to the grave without empowering others. They empower others to lead before their time on earth is over, because they understand that leadership is a baton that needs to be handed over.”
