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

The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.

The great leaders have always stage-managed their effects.

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 your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.

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

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

The secret of my success is a two word answer: Know people.

A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.
