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

People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.

Leadership is unlocking people's potential to become better.

Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.

People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.

You have to have your heart in the business and the business in your heart.

It is, after all, the responsibility of the expert to operate the familiar and that of the leader to transcend it.

A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell.

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.
