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

The great leaders have always stage-managed their effects.

Without initiative, leaders are simply workers in leadership positions.

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

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

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

Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.

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

People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.

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