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

Making good decisions is a crucial skill at every level.

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

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

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

Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.

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.

A leader does not deserve the name unless he is willing occasionally to stand alone.

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