Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself.

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

The secret of my success is a two word answer: Know people.

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 great leaders have always stage-managed their effects.

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

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

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

If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade.

When your values are clear to you, making decisions becomes easier.
