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

No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.

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

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

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

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

The very exercise of leadership fosters capacity for it.

There are three secrets to managing. The first secret is have patience. The second is be patient. And the third most important secret is patience.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.

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