Without initiative, leaders are simply workers in leadership positions.

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

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

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

The great leaders have always stage-managed their effects.

The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.

When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves.'

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

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

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