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

The speed of the leader is the speed of the gang.

The secret of my success is a two word answer: Know people.

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

Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.

If you command wisely, you'll be obeyed cheerfully.

Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.

If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade.

I'm not a natural leader. I'm too intellectual I'm too abstract I think too much.

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