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

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

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

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

Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.

No person will make a great business who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit.

Time is neutral and does not change things. With courage and initiative, leaders change things.

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

Without initiative, leaders are simply workers in leadership positions.

The secret of my success is a two word answer: Know people.
