Leadership comes in various shapes and forms. There are leaders with a badge and those without it.

Most of us have taken the role of a leader at some point in our lives. It can be at school, work, with family or friends or even with strangers.

And yet, leadership means different things to different people. No two leaders can be the same just as no two people are the same.

A lot of movies and TV shows have great leaders. Whose actions and words don’t only inspire their troops, but also the viewers.

Here are the top quotes from TV shows which inspire me to be a better leader:

1. General Pikalov, Chernobyl

Valery Legasov: Have one of your men get as close to the fire as he can. Give him every bit of protection you have. But understand that even with lead shielding, it may not be enough.

General Pikalov: Then I’ll do it myself.

Lesson: Don’t put your team under any circumstances you won’t be ready to face yourself.


2. Richard Winters, Band of Brothers

Richard Winters: You were gambling Buck.

Buck Compton: So what?

Richard Winters: What if you’d won? Never put yourself in a position where you can take from these men.

Lesson: As a leader, you’re there to give, not take.


3. Ned Stark, Game of Thrones

Ned Stark: The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword.

Lesson: You must take ownership and responsibility for your decisions, even the difficult ones.
