There you have it, the quotes that still inspire, said by some of the greatest leaders of all-time. “There is a leader in all of us. To release your inner leadership strength, there has to be a need and an opportunity. There is always an opportunity to be the leader of your life, and the role of leader is not reserved for legends. These quotes come from individuals like us, who were once babies, received nurture, mentoring, and an opportunity that fulfilled an inner desire that propelled them to leadership lore. These are the leaders that are well-known and have left a legacy through words and stories. Other great leaders are unsung by society and leave an ever-lasting impact through the people they have touched. Our mothers, fathers, and the sacrifices embraced by our unnamed ancestors have blazed the path that we travel today. We lead with our actions and that creates the environment of tomorrow. We all take responsiblity and we all take the blame…we are all leaders.”
