Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.

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

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.

Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions.

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

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

No person will make a great business who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit.

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

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.
