About this Quote

This quote by Dwight D. Eisenhower talks to the power of reliable management. Management is not about requiring somebody to do something, but rather motivating them to do it. It is about creating an environment where individuals are inspired to do what is asked of them since they want to, not since they need to. Leadership is about comprehending the requirements and desires of those you are leading and finding methods to line up those with the goals of the company. It is about producing a shared vision and motivating others to work together to accomplish it. Leadership is about developing an environment of trust and respect, where individuals feel valued and appreciated. Ultimately, leadership is about getting people to do something due to the fact that they want to, not due to the fact that they need to.
