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.

No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.

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

There are three secrets to managing. The first secret is have patience. The second is be patient. And the third most important secret is patience.

The very exercise of leadership fosters capacity for it.

The employer generally gets the employees he deserves.

Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are with the gift of your attention.

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

People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.
