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

Leadership is unlocking people's potential to become better.

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

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.

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

I'm not a natural leader. I'm too intellectual I'm too abstract I think too much.

The great leaders have always stage-managed their effects.

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

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

If you want a quality, act as if you already had it.
