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

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

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

A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

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

Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more you sweat, the luckier you get.

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

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

The very exercise of leadership fosters capacity for it.

The amount of good luck coming your way depends on your willingness to act.
