The insight to see possible new paths, the courage to try them, the judgment to measure results - these are the qualities of a leader.

An order then should always be given not as a personal matter, not because the man giving it wants the thing done, but because it is the demand of the situation. And an order of this kind carries weight because it is the demand of the situation.

The divorce of our so-called spiritual life from our daily activities is a fatal dualism.

In crowds we have unison, in groups harmony. We want the single voice but not the single note; that is the secret of the group.

Leadership is not defined by the exercise of power but by the capacity to increase the sense of power among those led. The most essential work of the leader is to create more leaders.

In the small group then is where we shall find the inner meaning of democracy, its very heart and core.

Leader and followers are both following the invisible leader - the common purpose. The best executives put this common purpose clearly before their group. While leadership depends on depth of conviction and the power coming therefrom there must also be the ability to share that conviction with others, the ability to make purpose articulate. And then that common purpose becomes the leader.
