Leadership is much more an art, a belief, a condition of the heart, than a set of things to do.

We are alone, absolutely alone on this chance planet; and amid all the forms of life that surround us, not one, excepting the dog has made an alliance with us.

Everyone in a successful organization must be willing and ready to risk. Risk is like change; it's not a choice.

A friend of mine characterizes leaders simply like this: Leaders don't inflict pain. They bear pain.

Leadership is like third grade: it means repeating the significant things.

We do not grow by knowing all of the answers, but rather by living with the questions.

Leadership is liberating people to do what is required of them in the most effective and humane way possible.
