On Leadership

i'm a reader of several blogs. my friend rob linked me to corey mann who always has interesting creative insights, as well as good info. on leadership. here's a few leadership quotes from one of his recent blogs. . . 

"Sometimes, a leader emerges from among equals, a man whose natural charisma, stability, and sense of purpose make everyone turn to him, just as the office plants turn toward the window. There's something special there, and everybody recognizes it, even if no one can put a finger on it. Leadership isn't a job or a title, it's a calling."

(David Zinczenko-Men's Health Magazine editor)

"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."
(Abraham Lincoln)

"In critical situations, they look into your eyes to see if you're there. If you're not there, they start quitting."
(Dan Marino Sr.)

"Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower."
(Steve Jobs)
