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

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.

Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions.

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

The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.

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

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

Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.

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

The great leaders have always stage-managed their effects.
