The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.

Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.

Without initiative, leaders are simply workers in leadership positions.

Getting in touch with your true self must be your first priority.

Leaders must encourage their organizations to dance to forms of music yet to be heard.

When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves.'

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit.

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