Leadership is not a voice crying in the wilderness, aloof and apart. It requires an ability to command as well as to inspire, to learn in the process of collaboration and to build a team with a common purpose that can take action and execute the change they envision.

About This Quote

Sometimes leadership can be a lonely profession. It’s easy to feel alone in the world of leaders, especially if you have a reputation for being a rebel or a maverick. Leadership does not have to take place in the wilderness; it can occur in the middle of the crowd. Leadership is about taking action and forming teams that can execute change.
