Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.

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

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

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

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

A leader does not deserve the name unless he is willing occasionally to stand alone.

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

Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions.

Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.

Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success.
