The very exercise of leadership fosters capacity for it.

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

Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked leadership is defined by results not attributes.

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

A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason.

Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are with the gift of your attention.

When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves.'

If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.

No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.

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