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

Good leadership consists of showing average people how to do the work of superior people.

The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.

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

People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.

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

Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.

The great leaders have always stage-managed their effects.

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