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

A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

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

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

Getting in touch with your true self must be your first priority.

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.

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

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.

I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles but today it means getting along with people.
