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

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.

Leaders must encourage their organizations to dance to forms of music yet to be heard.

Great companies in the way they work, start with great leaders.

Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.

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

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.

Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions.

Leadership cannot really be taught. It can only be learned.
