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

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

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

If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade.

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

He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.

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

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

If you command wisely, you'll be obeyed cheerfully.

Great companies in the way they work, start with great leaders.
