15 Quotes on Problem Solving from Inspirational Leaders

Posted on August 9, 2014 by Yvonne I. Wilson in Quotes // 2 Comments

Everywhere we turn these days there are problems. It seems like we don’t have to go further than our living rooms to realize that. At the push of a button, the overwhelming, and often times glaring images and sounds are right there and it’s just hard for anyone to ignore.

The problems are getting more complicated by the minute. The strategies that were used to solve them yesterday, seems amateur when measured against the problems themselves and what it’s really going to take to get them solved today.

In the midst of it all, I would still say there is hope. And today we can be encouraged and inspired by words of wisdom from great men who no doubt have had problems and challenges of their own and who have recorded their mark in history of how to approach the problems without losing courage.

1.) “When a problem comes along, study it until you are completely knowledgeable. Then find out that weak spot, break the problem apart, and the rest will be easy.” ~ Norman Vincent Peale

2.) “How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself – so always think positively.” ~ Norman Vincent Peale

3.) “A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them and strong enough to correct them.”  ~ John C. Maxwell

4.) “A leader lives with people to know their problems. A leader lives with God in order to solve them.” ~ John C. Maxwell

5.) “In fact, it is only through the New Testament that we can learn just what Christian faith is…Open your Bible at any page you like, there is nothing about solving religious problems. Bible testifies that God exists and that He revealed Himself through Jesus Christ. It shows too that the man who lives without God is not living right.” ~ Wilhelm Busch

6.) “Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.” ~ John F. Kennedy

7.) “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” ~ Philippians 4:13 New King James Version [NKJV]

8.) “The way to solve the problems in your life is to open your heart to others and to think differently. This has better result and brings more peace and happiness in your life, especially ultimate happiness that you will experience forever and that you can give to everyone who is suffering and to everyone who needs your help.” ~ Lama Zopa Rinpoche

9.) “No problem is insurmountable. With a little courage, teamwork and determination a person can overcome anything.’ ~ B. Dodge

10.) “One of the true tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency.” ~ Arnold Glasgow

11.) The bottom line is that if you become a master at handling problems and overcoming obstacles, what can stop you from success? The answer is nothing! And if nothing can stop you, you become unstoppable! ~ T. Hary Eker

12.) “The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities, We need men who can dream of things that never were.” ~ John Fitzgerald Kennedy

13.) “Through money or power you cannot solve all problems. The problem in the human heart must be solved first.” ~ Dalai Lama

14.) “We shall find the answer when we examine the problem, the problem is never apart from the answer. The problem IS the answer, understanding the problem dissolves the problem.” ~ Bruce Lee

15.)”Have you got a problem? Do what you can where you are with what you’ve got.” ~ Theodore Rooesvelt

Hopefully you have enjoyed these quotes enough to share this post with someone else so that they too can be inspired and encouraged through their own difficult circumstances today.

As always, I would love to hear from you.

Which quote inspired you the most? Do you think today’s problems are more man-made or simply, bible prophesy being fulfilled in our times?

150 Inspiring Simon Sinek Quotes On Leadership

• December 12, 2022

These Simon Sinek quotes on leadership hold some of the most valuable advice in the world when it comes to being a great leader.

If you don’t know who Simon Sinek is, he’s an author and motivational speaker who, according to his website , believes in a world in which “the vast majority of people wake up every single morning inspired, feel safe wherever they are, and end the day fulfilled by the work they do.”

Simon Sinek has written various books about effective leaders, teamwork, and discovering a team’s or business’ purpose including Start With Why , Leaders Eat Last , and Finding Your Why .

What does Simon Sinek say about leadership?

Simon Sinek believes that great companies take care of their employees, and that is a big part of the reason why they are successful.

He also believes that great leaders have an ability to inspire their teams and that trust is incredibly important for a leader to have.

The cost of leadership, according to Simon, is one’s own self-interest. This means that it’s the leader’s job and the responsibility of leadership to put the needs of their employees above their own if they want to be successful.

Bad leaders, on the other hand, cause their employees or teams to feel immense stress and anxiety, which ultimately causes a company or team to perform poorly and lose talented individuals to other companies.

This post is all about 150 inspiring Simon Sinek quotes on Leadership.

Simon Sinek has studied leadership immensely over the course of his career. The following Simon Sinek quotes capture his advice when it comes to being a great leader and making a better today for all those you lead and are led.

1. “There are only two ways to influence human behavior: you can manipulate it or you can inspire it.”

2. “Being the leader means you hold the highest rank, either by earning it, good fortune or navigating internal politics. Leading, however, means that others willingly follow you – not because they have to, not because they are paid to, but because they want to.”

3. “Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress: Working hard for something we love is called passion.”

4. “The role of a leader is not to come up with all the great ideas. The role of a leader is to create an environment in which great ideas can happen.”

5. “As the Zen Buddhist saying goes, how you do anything is how you do everything.”

6. “The true price of leadership is the willingness to place the needs of others above your own.”

7. “You can run a company, you can manage an organization, but you can lead only people.”

8. “You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.”

9. “Stress and anxiety at work have less to do with the work we do and more to do with weak management and leadership.”

10. “People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it. And what you do simply proves what you believe.”

11. “Great leaders truly care about those they are privileged to lead and understand that the true cost of the leadership privilege comes at the expense of self-interest.”

12. “Happy employees ensure happy customers. And happy customers ensure happy shareholders—in that order.”

13. “You don’t hire for skills, you hire for attitude. You can always teach skills.”

14. “Great companies don’t hire skilled people and motivate them, they hire already motivated people and inspire them.”

15. “People are either motivated or they are not. Unless you give motivated people something to believe in, something bigger than their job to work toward, they will motivate themselves to find a new job and you’ll be stuck with whoever’s left.”

16. “All organizations start with WHY, but only the great ones keep their WHY clear year after year.”

17. “Trust is maintained when values and beliefs are actively managed. If companies do not actively work to keep clarity, discipline and consistency in balance, then trust starts to break down.”

18. “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”

19. “The greatest contribution of a leader is to make other leaders.”

20. “If you hire people just because they can do a job, they’ll work for your money. But if you hire people who believe what you believe, they’ll work for you with blood and sweat and tears.”

21. “When you compete against everyone else, no one wants to help you. But when you compete against yourself, everyone wants to help you.”

22. “Leadership requires two things: a vision of the world that does not yet exist and the ability to communicate it.”

23. “A star wants to see himself rise to the top. A leader wants to see those around him rise to the top.”

24. “All leaders must have two things: they must have a vision of the world that does not exist and they must have the ability to communicate it.”

25. “Returning from work feeling inspired, safe, fulfilled and grateful is a natural human right to which we are all entitled and not a modern luxury that only a few lucky ones are able to find.”

More Simon Sinek Quotes On Servant Leadership

26. “Let us all be the leaders we wish we had.”

27. “And when a leader embraces their responsibility to care for people instead of caring for numbers, then people will follow, solve problems and see to it that that leader’s vision comes to life the right way, a stable way and not the expedient way.”

28. “It is not the genius at the top giving directions that makes people great. It is great people that make the guy at the top look like a genius.”

29. “Henry Ford summed it up best. “If I had asked people what they wanted,” he said, “they would have said a faster horse.”

30. “Charisma has nothing to do with energy; it comes from a clarity of WHY.”

31. “Energy can excite. But only charisma can inspire. Charisma commands loyalty. Energy does not.”

32. “We are not victims of our situation. We are the architects of it.”

33. “Value is not determined by those who set the price. Value is determined by those who choose to pay it.”

34. “A boss wants to pay for results, an employee wants recognition for effort. If a boss recognizes effort, they will get even better results.”

35. “A leader must be inspired by the people before a leader can inspire the people.”

36. “Great leaders and great organizations are good at seeing what most of us can’t see. They are good at giving us things we would never think of asking for.”

37. “Children are better off having a parent who works into the night in a job they love than a parent who works shorter hours but comes home unhappy.”

38. “Leadership is about integrity, honesty and accountability. All components of trust.”

39. “The rank of office is not what makes someone a leader. Leadership is the choice to serve others with or without any formal rank.”

40. “Those who forget WHY they were founded show up to the race every day to outdo someone else instead of to outdo themselves. The pursuit, for those who lose sight of WHY they are running the race, is for the medal or to beat someone else.”

41. “Integrity is when our words and deeds are consistent with our intentions.”

42. “The goal is not simply for you to cross the finish line, but to see how many people you can inspire to run with you.”

43. “The best way to drive performance in an organization is to create an environment in which information can flow freely, mistakes can be highlighted and help can be offered and received.”

44. “Passion alone can’t cut it. For passion to survive it needs structure. A why without how has little probability of success.”

45. “Innovation is not born from the dream, innovation is born from the struggle.”

46. “Great leaders are those who trust their gut. They are those who understand the art before the science. They win hearts before minds. They are the ones who start with WHY.”

47. “The ability of a group of people to do remarkable things hinges on how well those people pull together as a team.”

48. “When we tell people to do their jobs, we get workers. When we trust people to get the job done, we get leaders.”

49. “Leadership is not a license to do less; it is a responsibility to do more.”

50. “Instead of asking, “WHAT should we do to compete?” the questions must be asked, “WHY did we start doing WHAT we’re doing in the first place, and WHAT can we do to bring our cause to life considering all the technologies and market opportunities available today?”

51. “To ask, “What’s best for me” is finite thinking. To ask, “What’s best for us” is infinite thinking.”

52. “Leadership takes work. It takes time and energy. The effects are not always easily measured and they are not always immediate. Leadership is always a commitment to human beings.”

53. “It is not the demands of the job that cause the most stress, but the degree of control workers feel they have throughout their day.”

54. “The effort required by a job is not in itself stressful, but rather the imbalance between the effort we give and the reward we feel.”

55. “Less control, more stress.”

56. “If the leader of the organization can’t clearly articulate WHY the organization exists in terms beyond its products or services, then how does he expect the employees to know WHY to come to work?”

57. “Leaps of greatness require the combined problem-solving ability of people who trust each other.”

58. “Average companies give their people something to work on. In contrast, the most innovative organizations give their people something to work toward.”

59. “People who love going to work are more productive and more creative. They go home happier and have happier families. They treat their colleagues and clients and customers better. Inspired employees make for stronger companies and stronger economies.”

60. “Those who truly lead are able to create a following of people who act not because they were swayed, but because they were inspired.”

61. “Those who are able to inspire will create a following of people—supporters, voters, customers, workers—who act for the good of the whole not because they have to, but because they want to.”

62. “Infinite-minded leaders understand that “best” is not a permanent state. Instead, they strive to be ‘better.’”

63. When trust and cooperation thrive internally, we pull together and the organization grows stronger as a result.”

64. “Most of us live our lives by accident—we live as it happens. Fulfillment comes when we live our lives on purpose.”

65. “Leadership is always about people.”

66. “Culture = Values + Behavior”

67. “Our visions are the world we imagine, the tangible results of what the world would look like if we spent every day in pursuit of our WHY.”

68. “When leaders are willing to prioritize trust over performance, performance almost always follows.”

69. “We are drawn to leaders and organizations that are good at communicating what they believe. Their ability to make us feel like we belong, to make us feel special, safe and not alone is part of what gives them the ability to inspire us.”

70. “There are many ways to motivate people to do things, but loyalty comes from the ability to inspire people.”

71. “When the people have to manage dangers from inside the organization, the organization itself becomes less able to face the dangers from outside.”

72. “The true value of an organization is measured by the desire others have to contribute to that organization’s ability to keep succeeding, not just during the time they are there, but well beyond their own tenure.”

73. “The only way people will know what you believe is by the things you say and do, and if you’re not consistent in the things you say and do, no one will know what you believe.”

74. “Those who have an opportunity to work in organizations that treat them like human beings to be protected rather than a resource to be exploited come home at the end of the day with an intense feeling of fulfillment and gratitude.”

75. “There is a difference between a group of people who work together and a group of people who trust each other.”

Even More Simon Sinek Leadership Wisdom

76. “And when we feel sure they will keep us safe, we will march behind them and work tirelessly to see their visions come to life and proudly call ourselves their followers.”

77. “Social interaction is also important for the leaders of an organization. Roaming the halls of the office and engaging with people beyond meetings really matters.”

78. “Leaders are the ones who are willing to give up something of their own for us. Their time, their energy, their money, maybe even the food off their plate. When it matters, leaders choose to eat last.”

79. “August 5, 1981. That’s the date it became official. It’s rare that we can point to an exact date when a business theory or idea becomes an accepted practice. But in the case of mass layoffs, we can. August 5, 1981, was the day President Ronald Reagan fired more than 11,000 air traffic controllers.”

80. “The lack of a clear set of values and beliefs, along with the weak culture that resulted, created the conditions for an every-man-for-himself environment, the long-term impact of which could yield little else than disaster. This is caveman stuff.”

81. “What makes a good leader is that they eschew the spotlight in favor of spending time and energy to do what they need to do to support and protect their people.”

82. “Exhibiting the qualities of leadership is what makes someone an effective leader. Qualities like honesty, integrity, courage, resiliency, perseverance, judgment and decisiveness.”

83. “It’s not Bill Gates’s passion for computers that inspires us, it’s his undying optimism that even the most complicated problems can be solved.”

84. “It is important to celebrate our victories, but we cannot linger on them.”

85. “Greatness is not born from one success. Greatness is born from persevering through the countless failed attempts that preceded.”

86. “Strong relationships are the foundation of high-performing teams. And all high-performing teams start with trust.”

87. “Don’t quit. Never give up trying to build the world you can see, even if others can’t see it. Listen to your drum and your drum only. It’s the one that makes the sweetest sound.”

88. “Those only doing as they are told, always forced to follow the rules, are the ones who suffer the most.”

89. “When we are closed to ideas, what we hear is criticism. When we are open to criticism, what we get is advice.”

90. “Good leadership is like exercise. We do not see any improvement to our bodies with day-to-day comparisons.”

160 Leadership Quotes for Great Leaders

Some of the links in this post may be affiliate links. See our disclosure for more info.

What makes a good leader? These leadership quotes will tell you!

Lloyd J. Edwards Jr. famously said “you can’t teach leadership, but it can be learned.”

A retired police lieutenant from California, Edwards says confidence, integrity, determination, and a commitment to excellence, are traits common among leaders in any field.

All of these attributes, in the perfect combination, create leaders who inspire those around them to think, do, and be better.

Whether you are currently a leader, or aspire to be one someday, it is important to remember that good leadership requires skills that must be constantly honed and refined.

Being a leader is about more than just having a certain job title. It’s all about having the direction, perseverance, and ability to motivate other people to achieve a common goal.

We hope these amazing leadership quotes inspire you to keep learning and reaching for new heights.

Besides that, they inspire us to think without boundaries, embrace the power of deadlines in problem-solving, and experience life as a reality, not a problem to be solved. Moreover, we leave you with a few questions to ponder:

• How will you change your mindset?

10 leadership quotes for leaders and managers in 2024.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

Being more engaged as a leader or manager can significantly improve your company's culture and the ... [+] performance and career progression of your team members

Every now and then, we could do with a lift, a pick-me-up, or something inspirational to keep us on track towards achieving our career goals. Sometimes we slip into the monotony of performing our roles and lose the motivation and energy to keep going, especially if our work environment is not the most favorable. Consequently, our productivity and long-term career goals suffer.

Even as leaders and managers, we're prone to falling into a state of apathy. For example, two-thirds of managers in the U.S. are either not engaged or actively disengaged in their work and workplace, a 2020 study from Gallup showed. And this alarming state of affairs was further confirmed by Microsoft's 2022 Work Trend Index report , which noted that approximately 53% of managers report feeling burned out at work.

The result?

Disengaged teams, poor leadership, and compromised company cultures. This is why it's essential, not only for employers to foster a positive, safe, and engaging environment for their their teams and managers, but for those in management responsibility to take ownership for their own wellbeing, motivation, and career progression as well.

One fulfilling way to remain inspired and motivated in your leadership role is to make use of quotes. These one- or two-line powerhouses can help you feel great about yourself and be confident as a decision-maker, remind you to set high personal and professional goals, and help you to prioritize what's most important in your role.

When we think of leadership quotes, we probably automatically revert to famous and often overused sayings from well-known authors, politicians, or other notable figures. But how about trying expanding your quotes library?

Best High-Yield Savings Accounts Of 2024

Best 5% interest savings accounts of 2024.

Below are some not-so-famous quotes to get you pumped up for your work day, from a and for you to contemplate as you take on your leadership responsibilities. Which ones resonate with you the most?

1. Leadership Quote From Adam Grant

“Good leaders build products. Great leaders build cultures. Good leaders deliver results. Great leaders develop people. Good leaders have vision. Great leaders have values. Good leaders are role models at work. Great leaders are role models in life."

Grant's quote perfectly encapsulates the concept of what it takes to level up your game as an aspiring leader. If you already work in management, for example, and are seeking to work your way up into senior leadership, the new role will require a change of mindset and a shift in behaviors and attitudes.

2. Leadership Quote From George S. Patton Jr.

"Don't tell people how to do things; tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results."

This quote from Patton embodies the concept of coaching within your role as a leader or manager. Sometimes the situation calls for you to tell your team how things should be done, for example, when training them on compliance or giving less experienced employees an induction. Other times, it's best to tell them the end goal and trust their intuition. This helps them take ownership for their work and be more engaged.

3. Leadership Quote From Theodore Roosevelt

"The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint to keep from meddling with them while they do it."

Having a high-performing team boils down to making the right hiring choices from the beginning. Don't only pick your team members because of their skills, but assess their competencies and values, to see how well they would fit within the organization's vision and culture. And of course, so long as you've made the best hiring decisions and followed your gut instinct, you should trust them enough to get the job done, focusing on output to measure productivity, not hours.

Having quotes on your desk can help you stay focused and motivated throughout the ups and downs of ... [+] your leadership journey

4. Leadership Quote From Peter Drucker

“Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.”

This line easily sums up the essential difference between leaders and managers—two terms that are often used interchangeably. As a manager, you are focused on operations, delivering the agreed objectives, to align with the company's vision. But when you move into leadership, the focus is on directing the vision as opposed to being hands-on in driving it forward.

5. Leadership Quote From Bill Bradley

“Leadership is unlocking people’s potential to become better.”

As you read this quote, self-reflect: Are you unlocking the potential of those you work with? Are you intentionally seeking to uplift and develop your team? How has their career, wellbeing, and work performance improved since you started working with them?

6. Leadership Quote From Sam Rayburn

“You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too.”

One of the essential traits is that of continuous learning and a focus on one's own professional development. To be at your best in your role, focus on finding inspiration in relatable role models or mentors, following them, and learning from their example.

7. Leadership Quote From Lisa Haisha

“Great leaders don’t set out to be a leader, they set out to make a difference. It’s never about the role, it’s always about the goal.”

Why do you want to work in leadership or management anyway? What's your motivation? Haisha reminds us that the focus should not be on the title, prestige, salary, or position, although those factors are important. Pursuing a career within leadership or management boils down to asking yourself, What impact do I want to make in my industry?

A leader's role is to bring others up with them

8. Leadership Quote From John C. Maxwell

“The single biggest way to impact an organization is to focus on leadership development. There is almost no limit to the potential of an organization that recruits good people, raises them up as leaders and continually develops them.”

Leadership skills are in demand , with a 53% uptake in employers who admit to needing this skill from their employees. Qualities such as critical thinking, problem solving, communication, relationship-building, and emotional intelligence should be taught organization-wide, thus equipping the next generation of leaders and enabling higher performers.

9. Leadership Quote From Sam Altman

"The hard part of running a business is that there are a hundred things that you could be doing, and only five of those actually matter, and only one of them matters more than all of the rest of them combined. So figuring out there is a critical path thing to focus on and ignoring everything else is really important."

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman understood the importance of the 80/20 rule when he made this statement. With the 80/20 rule, also known as the Pareto principle you understand as a leader that although there are a million different things you could be doing or places you could be, you spread yourself thin by attempting to do so much. Therefore, manage your time effectively by concentrating on allotting 20% of your efforts and energy into a the highest value tasks. This will help you remain focused so you can achieve 80% results.

10. Leadership Quote From Muriel Strode

“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”

This is how you make real impact and achieve innovation. Instead of following organizational norms, use your voice and position to challenge them. Ask questions such as, Why shouldn't we be doing this instead? What has been working well and what is not working right now? How can we improve the quality of our services and our commitment to our people?

Focus on impact, not title

To make these quotes a constant reminder at critical moments in your work day, have these quotes written down and place them on a sticky note somewhere visible, such as your workstation, desk, or other place that you tend to frequent in your home. Always aim to develop yourself to be the most exceptional leader in your organization and industry, and never be satisfied with anything less than your goal.

Creative Problem Solving Quotes

Standart top banner.

Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.

To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.

Creativity can solve almost any problem.

We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.

Learn to use your brain power. Critical thinking is the key to creative problem solving in business.

Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Problems are only opportunities with thorns on them.

Being receptive, being able to listen openly and well, is a crucial skill for creative problem-solving.

The formulation of the problem is often more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill.

Pay attention to the inner voice that tells you when something feels right. Much of your creative problem-solving occurs at an unconscious level.

It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.

A problem is a chance for you to do your best.

The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it is the same problem you had last year.

The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.

It's all about one thing: creative problem-solving to get the story out.

Again and again, the impossible problem is solved when we see that the problem is only a tough decision waiting to be made.

Don't dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.

The mere formulation of a problem is far more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skills. To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle requires creative imagination and marks real advances in science.

Every problem has a gift for you in its hands.

It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it.

When someone comes to you to talk about a problem, if you move the conversation on to a discussion of potential solutions, you fuel their creative problem solving abilities on average by 20% - not to mention you make them feel better! You make them smarter and more empowered to tackle challenges.

When the solution is simple, God is answering.

People in good moods are better at inductive reasoning and creative problem solving.
