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 look for what needs to be done. After all, that's how the universe designs itself.

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

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

Making good decisions is a crucial skill at every level.

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

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

The great leaders have always stage-managed their effects.

Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.

How we think shows through in how we act. Attitudes are mirrors of the mind. They reflect thinking.
