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.

The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell.

You have to have your heart in the business and the business in your heart.

Management is doing things right leadership is doing the right things.

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

The employer generally gets the employees he deserves.

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

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

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

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