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

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

You have no power at all if you do not exercise constant power.

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

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

Go as far as you can see when you get there, you'll be able to see farther.

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

The great leaders have always stage-managed their effects.

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

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