Rank does not confer privilege or give power. It imposes responsibility.

What can I contribute that will significantly affect the performance and the results of the institution I serve?

Leadership is an achievement of trust.

A manager's task is to make the strengths of people effective and their weakness irrelevant - and that applies fully as much to the manager's boss as it applies to the manager's subordinates.

It is more productive to convert an opportunity into results than to solve a problem - which only restores the equilibrium of yesterday.

The real achiever do one thing at a time.

It is easier to raise the performance of one leader than it is to raise the performance of a whole mass.
