Leadership Quote From Truman

To be able to lead others, a man must be willing to go forward alone.
~Harry Truman

This is one of my favorite leadership quotes. It really shows what is lacking is modern leaders.  Most want people to do their bidding, but they aren’t interested in pursuing  their goals unless other people are doing the work.  A true leader is someone motivated by a greater calling than simply having people follow them. This comes down to having a leadership purpose–something that goes beyond simply a desire to be important.
