The great leaders have always stage-managed their effects.

You have to have your heart in the business and the business in your heart.

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

The amount of good luck coming your way depends on your willingness to act.

Good leadership consists of showing average people how to do the work of superior people.

If you command wisely, you'll be obeyed cheerfully.

A leader does not deserve the name unless he is willing occasionally to stand alone.

You have no power at all if you do not exercise constant power.

People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.

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