Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.

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

Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself.

High expectations are the key to everything.

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

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

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

Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.

Leaders must encourage their organizations to dance to forms of music yet to be heard.

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.
