The point is to become yourself . . .
“. . . the point is not to become a leader. The point is to become yourself, to use yourself completely – all your skills, gifts and energies – in order to make your vision manifest. You must withhold nothing. You must, in sum, become the person you started out to be, and to enjoy the process of becoming.”
~Warren Bennis in On Becoming a Leader

The Leadership Challenge by James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner
“What we have discovered, and rediscovered, is that leadership is not the private reserve of a few charismatic men and women. It is a process ordinary people use when they are bringing forth the best from themselves and others. What we’ve discovered is that people make extraordinary things happen by liberating the leader within everyone.”
. . . everything rises and falls
” . . . everything rises and falls on leadership.”
~John Maxwell
