10 Of Our Favorite Great Leadership Quotes
The Strategic Coach Team
The extraordinary entrepreneurs whose names we’ve committed to memory are all remarkable leaders. They had or have a clear vision of a new, different, and better future for themselves and those around them — sometimes a vision so far-reaching that it first changes their business, then their industry, and then, the entire world.
These leaders also have extraordinary passion for what they’re trying to achieve and for each step along the way. Everyone they need to make their vision real is excited and solidly on board for the adventure.
Another truth: There’s a pitfall many entrepreneurs encounter along the way. They believe that because they’re a great leader, they must also be a great manager. That couldn’t be further from the truth.
There’s absolutely no shame in being a great leader without a management bone in your body. The biggest change-makers are the entrepreneurs who let others run their companies for the betterment of all, themselves included.
