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

People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.

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

Without initiative, leaders are simply workers in leadership positions.

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

To succeed in business it is necessary to make others see things as you see them.

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

The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.

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

If you command wisely, you'll be obeyed cheerfully.
