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

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.

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

A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason.

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

It is, after all, the responsibility of the expert to operate the familiar and that of the leader to transcend it.

When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves.'

Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.

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

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