The Lessons of Leadership
By William Wilberforce
˜ Providence prepares the path of every great leader.
˜ A leader’s religious faith is inseparable from his worldly accomplishments.
˜ Since true leadership entails integrity, what a leader says and does must be one.
˜ A wise leader will acknowledge his faults and welcome the criticism of his friends.
˜ If a leader would improve the world he must first improve himself.
˜ No one respects ignorance; a leader must read in order to gain wisdom and knowledge.
˜ A leader expands his influence by being kind and winsome.
˜ Since a man’s friends shape his thought and life, a leader must choose friends wisely.
˜ A leader must have the gravitational force that draws men together for teamwork.
˜ A leader who truly loves God will also love his fellow man.
˜ Private benevolence says more about a leader’s character than public charity.
˜ A large capacity for work is the earmark of a world-class leader.
˜ A day of rest is the springboard for a week of labor.
˜ A Christian leader will never forget that his colleagues have an eternal destiny.
˜ A leader who has embraced the gospel will support its spread worldwide.
˜ A leader will do his duty even if it means standing alone.
˜ Principled leadership means being governed by principles that transcend the personal or political.
˜ A life well lived is the best answer to criticism undeserved.
˜ The adventures of leadership are no shield from the adversities of life.
˜ Before he can govern others, a leader must first govern himself.
˜ A leader must choose a virtuous and compatible wife.
˜ A good leader should equally be a good father and husband.
˜ Mere visionaries are many; men of vision are rare.
˜ Principled and visionary leadership makes a leader a reformer.
˜ A wise leader advocates his cause in a judicious and prudent manner; he is neither radical nor reactionary.
˜ To be heard with success, a leader must be heard with pleasure.
˜ Frame is truly deserved when it is used to advance morality and religion.
˜ The noblest leader may succumb to pride if he does not cultivate humility.
˜ The benefits of leadership bring the moral obligation to benefit others.
˜ Perseverance wins the prize.
