The Daily Motivator

The most effective form of leadership is born out of the
sincere desire and proven ability to make a positive
contribution. Those who lead best are those for whom
leadership itself is not the primary aim.

True leadership is not embodied in a position or title. True
leadership arises from an exemplary life of making positive,
valuable contributions that inspire others to do the same.

The most successful leaders have no interest in telling
others what to do. Successful leaders are those who promote
and support conditions in which each person can act with
effectiveness and experience fulfillment in his or her own
special way.

Great leaders are not those who claim to have all the
answers or to solve every problem. Great leaders lead by
example rather than by proclamation.

To be a leader, be a shining example. Do precisely that
which you would lead others to do, and do it spectacularly.

Leadership at its best enlarges upon the sincere and
productive efforts of the leader. Make those efforts the
best they can be, and they'll result in true, effective
leadership.

-Ralph Marston
