Everyone is a leader because everyone influences someone.
Leadership is developed daily, not in a day.
Leadership is taking responsibility while others are making excuses.
Character makes trust possible, and trust is the foundation of leadership.
Credibility is a leader’s currency. With it, he or she is solvent; without it, he or she is bankrupt.
One of the greatest values of mentors is the ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their destination.
Anyone can steer the ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course. Leaders who are good navigators are capable of taking their people just about anywhere.
Leadership development is a lifetime journey, not a quick trip.
Your attitude determines your actions, and your actions determine your accomplishment.
Earn your leadership every day.
A ruler should be slow to punish and swift to reward.
Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.
Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.
Leadership is an achievement of trust.
As a leader of people, you have to be a great listener, a great motivator, be very good at praising and bringing out the best in people.
Leadership is a choice, not a position.
A cowardly leader is the most dangerous of men.
If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don’t have to be pushed. The vision pulls you.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred with dust and sweat; who strives valiantly; who errs and may fall again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming.
You must manage yourself before you can lead someone else.
