5 INSPIRATIONAL LEADERSHIP QUOTES FROM WOMEN

Any leader knows that they can’t become a great leader without great leaders to learn from.

Traditionally, society has automatically deemed that men make better leaders. But as the years have gone by, not only have we seen more women taking on leadership roles, but their roles have a bigger impact than most would’ve anticipated.

And this isn’t just about women being leaders, it’s about women being great leaders.

So, in celebration of International Women’s Day, we wanted to showcase 5 leadership quotes from women that are inspiring to every leader and every aspiring leader.

“Leadership is about empathy. It is about having the ability to relate to and connect with people for the purpose of inspiring and empowering their lives.”

– Oprah Winfrey

“If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, then you are an excellent leader.”

– Dolly Parton 

“The way you achieve your own success is to be willing to help somebody else get it first.”

– Iyanla Vanzant

"You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it."

– Maya Angelou

“I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate and strong.”

– Jaeinda Ardern 

Leadership is far more than having power over others, it’s about influence and responsibility. Your role each and every day is to inspire people to achieve what you did – not to oppress them to stay at the same level.

A good leader creates more leaders.
