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

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

Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.

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

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

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

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

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

Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton was the one who asked why.
