I no longer think that learning how to manage people, especially subordinates, is the most important for executives to learn. I am teaching above all else, how to manage oneself.
The leader sees leadership as responsibility rather than as rank and privilege.
One does not start with facts. One starts with opinions.
You cannot build performance on weaknesses. You can build only on strengths.
Do not believe that it is very much of an advance to do the unnecessary three times as fast.
Successful leaders don't start out asking, 'What do I want to do?' They ask, 'What needs to be done?' Then they ask, 'Of those things that would make a difference, which are right for me?'
