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

Our business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves.

The very exercise of leadership fosters capacity for it.

The great leaders have always stage-managed their effects.

Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off his goal.

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.

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

Leadership is unlocking people's potential to become better.

Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.

Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.
