The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell.

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.

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

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

Leaders must encourage their organizations to dance to forms of music yet to be heard.

The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.

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

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

He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.

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