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

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.

Management is about arranging and telling. Leadership is about nurturing and enhancing.

Without initiative, leaders are simply workers in leadership positions.

If you want a quality, act as if you already had it.

The great leaders have always stage-managed their effects.

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.

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