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.

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.

The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.

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

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

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

Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked leadership is defined by results not attributes.

I'm not a natural leader. I'm too intellectual I'm too abstract I think too much.

If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.
