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

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

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

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

Without initiative, leaders are simply workers in leadership positions.

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

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

If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.

The real leader has no need to lead - he is content to point the way.

Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked leadership is defined by results not attributes.
