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

I look for what needs to be done. After all, that's how the universe designs itself.

The very exercise of leadership fosters capacity for it.

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

Without initiative, leaders are simply workers in leadership positions.

I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles but today it means getting along with people.

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.

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

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