A leader does not deserve the name unless he is willing occasionally to stand alone.

Good leadership consists of showing average people how to do the work of superior people.

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

A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason.

I look for what needs to be done. After all, that's how the universe designs itself.

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

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.

Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are with the gift of your attention.

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

Management is doing things right leadership is doing the right things.
