How we think shows through in how we act. Attitudes are mirrors of the mind. They reflect thinking.

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

Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself.

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

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

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.

The great leaders have always stage-managed their effects.

Leadership cannot really be taught. It can only be learned.

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.

Without initiative, leaders are simply workers in leadership positions.
