Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.

How we think shows through in how we act. Attitudes are mirrors of the mind. They reflect thinking.

The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.

When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves.'

The real leader has no need to lead - he is content to point the way.

A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.

Time is neutral and does not change things. With courage and initiative, leaders change things.

High expectations are the key to everything.

The very exercise of leadership fosters capacity for it.

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.
