The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense in fact the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.

I think it is quite dangerous for an organisation to think they can predict where they are going to need leadership. It needs to be something that people are willing to assume if it feels relevant given the context of any situation.

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.

Learn from me if not by my precepts then by my example how dangerous is the pursuit of knowledge and how much happier is that man who believes his native town to be the world than he who aspires to be greater than his nature will allow.

If a little knowledge is dangerous where is the man who has so much as to be out of danger?

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing but a little want of knowledge is also a dangerous thing.

Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.

In a battle all you need to make you fight is a little hot blood and the knowledge that it's more dangerous to lose than to win.

Beware of false knowledge it is more dangerous than ignorance.

They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.
