The ultimate test of practical leadership is the realization of intended, real change that meets people's enduring needs.

Leaders are not pale reflectors of major social conflicts; they play up some, play down others, ignore still others.

In real life, the most practical advice for leaders is not to treat pawns like pawns, nor princes like princes, but all persons like persons.

Let us face reality. The framers (of the Constitution) have simply been too shrewd for us. They have outwitted us. They designed separate institutions that cannot be unified by mechanical linkages frail bridges(or) tinkering. If we are to turn the founders upside down we must directly confront the Constitutional structure they erected.

Leadership, in short, is power governed by principle, directed toward raising people to their highest levels of personal motive and social morality.

Leadership is one of the most observed and least understood phenomena on earth.

Such leadership occurs when one or more persons engage with others in such a way that leaders and followers raise one another to higher levels of motivation and morality.
