People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.

The very exercise of leadership fosters capacity for it.

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.

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.

People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader leads, and the boss drives.

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

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

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

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