A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude.
The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That's the day we truly grow up.
The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda.
Teamwork makes the dream work, but a vision becomes a nightmare when the leader has a big dream and a bad team.
Everything rises and falls on leadership.
There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. 'Good pride' represents our dignity and self-respect. 'Bad pride' is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance.
Everyone has the potential to become an encourager. You don't have to be rich. You don't have to be a genius. You don't have to have it all together. All you have to do is care about people and initiate.
A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.
People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.
Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.
Learn to say 'no' to the good so you can say 'yes' to the best.
Leadership is influence.
As a leader, the first person I need to lead is me. The first person that I should try to change is me.
The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.
To add value to others, one must first value others.
People who add value to others do so intentionally. I say that because to add value, leaders must give of themselves, and that rarely occurs by accident.
Success is due to our stretching to the challenges of life. Failure comes when we shrink from them.
Good executives never put off until tomorrow what they can get someone else to do today.
Live to learn, and you will really learn to live.
