A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason.

You have no power at all if you do not exercise constant power.

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

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

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.

There are three secrets to managing. The first secret is have patience. The second is be patient. And the third most important secret is patience.

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

Leadership cannot really be taught. It can only be learned.
