“When we see the need for deep change, we usually view it as something that needs to happen in someone else's. In our positions of authority, such as parent, teacher or boss, we are especially quick to force others to change. Such directives often fail, and we respond to resistance by increasing our efforts. The power struggle that ensues rarely results in change or results in excellence. One of the most important insights into making deep changes in others is when deep change actually begins.” - Robert E. Quinn

It's been three years since I made the leap from successful accountant to entrepreneur.
Before taking this leap, I read quotes from successful leaders to motivate myself.
Here are some quotes that inspired me then, and a few new ones that inspire me now.
Whether you're planning to start your own business or have been running your company for a while, you can learn a lot from the world's most successful CEOs.
This list includes best tips from leaders about success, working with your team, becoming a leader, being a leader, and working with clients as a leader.
Each quote helped me become a better leader than I was before.
On success: Brian Chesky, Airbnb
“When you start your own company, it's more like art than science because you don't know anything. Instead of solving core problems, try solving something deeply personal to yourself. Everything will be perfect if you an ordinary person and simply solve your own problem in a way that can help millions of other people.”
On success: John Stumpf, Wells Fargo
“I never prepared to become a leader. I was always preparing to become good dick team, a good colleague."

On success: Carly Fiorina, Hewlett-Packard
“To build a great company, which is the job of a leader, you have to confront the social mindset.”
About success: Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook

About working with your team: Andrea Jung, Grameen America
“Talent is the most important priority for a leader. You think the most important thing is vision and strategy, but in reality it’s more important to find the right people.”
About working with your team: Taso Du Val, Toptal
“Teaching your employees something new creates an ongoing connection, and they will respect you for it. If you can achieve this directly in the interview, then you will confidently attract the smartest people. Money doesn't mean much to most of the world's smartest people - they want to develop their minds, not their wallets. If you show employees that they will grow intellectually in their careers and economically while working for the company, then they will want to work with you.”
About working with your team: Gary Hamel, Gary Hamel Consulting
“Nothing inhibits employee engagement quite like raw, cold, centralized authority. In most companies, the power hierarchy extends down from the CEO. Employees are not only excluded from the decision-making process, they even lack the power to rebel against self-centered and tyrannical managers.”
About working with your team: Anne M. Mulcahy, Xerox
“Employees who believe their management cares about them as whole individuals are not just employees—they are more productive, more satisfied, more joyful. Satisfied employees lead to satisfied customers, which in turn leads to profitability.”
About working with your team: Jack Ma, Alibaba
“The lessons I learned from the dark days of Alibaba are that you must bring value, innovation and vision to your team. Besides, as long as you don't give up, you always have a chance. And when you’re young, you have to be very focused and rely on your brain, not your strength.”
On Becoming a CEO: Elon Musk, SpaceX
“The path to the manager’s office should not go through either the CFO’s office or the marketing department. It has to run through the engineering and design department.”
On Becoming an Executive: Denis Morrison, Campbell Soup Company
“If you want a leadership position, you should prepare for it with a vengeance.”
On becoming a leader: Chanda Koshar, ICICI Bank
“I still believe that when you start, you should have a big dream – a big goal – but it’s equally important to move towards it step by step. So, you know, frankly, if you had asked me this when I started as a trainee manager in 1984, I don’t know if I would have really thought that I could become a real leader.”
On Becoming an Executive: Indra Nooyi, PepsiCO
“Just because you became a manager, you shouldn’t think that you’ve already settled down. You need to constantly learn, improve your thinking, your ways of organization. I never forget about it."

On Becoming a Leader: Alexa Von Tobel, LearnVest

The managerial revolution.
Title of a book by an American publicist James Burnham (1905–1987),
Rarely (or perhaps never) has a major social institution—a new stratum of leaders—emerged as quickly as management in the mid-twentieth century. Rarely has any institution in the history of mankind proved its indispensability so quickly; and even less often new institute met so few opponents, caused so little confusion and so little controversy.
Peter Drucker(b. 1909),

Peter Drucker
There is no bad business or bad management. There is only management, which is bad for this particular business.
Arnold Goldstein,
President of a consulting firm (USA)
Management is not business management, just like, say, medicine is not obstetrics. (...) Running a chain of retail stores is not as different from running a Catholic diocese (...) as store employees and clergy believe (...). 90% or so of all organizations' problems are the same. As for the remaining 10%, there are no more differences between for-profit and non-profit organizations than between different business sectors, for example, between a transnational bank and a children's toy factory.
Peter Drucker
