The great leaders have always stage-managed their effects.

Without initiative, leaders are simply workers in leadership positions.

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

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

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

Time is neutral and does not change things. With courage and initiative, leaders change things.

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

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.

If you care enough for a result, you will most certainly attain it.
