LEADERSHIP

INTEGRITY
Human beings are born alone but they have to live in groups,
work in groups to make meaningful impacts.
In an attempt to create orderliness and sense of direction
there is the need to have someone who is saddled with
responsibility of leading the group or directing the affairs.

Leaders are those people who


leads or commands a group,
organization or country.
-Oxford Dictionary
LEADERSHIP

Leadership is influence, the ability of one person to influence others


- J. Oswald Sanders

A man who knows the road, who can keep ahead, and can pull others after
him
- Dr. John R. Mott

The capacity and will to rally men and women to a common purpose, and
the character which inspires confidence.
- Bernard L. Montgomery
In order to lead effectively, a leader will need to
exhibit quite a number of qualities or characters.

The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably


integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, whether it is
on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an
office.
– Dwight D. Eisenhower
Integrity is defined as holding oneself to a
high moral standard and behaving
