How Successful People Lead Quotes

“One of the burdens of leadership is that as we go, so go the people we lead. Reaching our potential sets an environment for others to reach theirs. When leaders stop climbing, two questions need to be asked: “Can they improve?” and “Will they improve?” Some people can’t; they’ve reached their limit. Others won’t. Capacity is not the problem: choice and attitude are. If people are willing to choose improvement and change their attitude, the sky is the limit.”

“Good leaders do not lead everyone the same way, because every person is different and you’re not on the same level of leadership with every person. Effective leaders interact with followers based on: Where they are with each specific follower, Where the followers perceive the leader to be, and Where the followers are in their own leadership development.”
