Dwight Eisenhower

1 quote

Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.

Genuinely Eisenhower and well documented among his sourced quotations; he used this definition of leadership repeatedly in speeches and writings, and it is standard in leadership literature with consistent attribution. I cannot fix the earliest occurrence or date, so no print source is asserted.
