It's been my experience that the people who gain trust, loyalty, excitement, and energy fast are the ones who pass on the credit to the people who have really done the work. A leader doesnt need any credit... He's getting more credit than he deserves anyway.

Don't hire a master to paint you a masterpiece and then assign a roomful of schoolboy artists to look over his shoulder and make suggestions.

If you have to have a policy manual, publish the 'Ten Commandments.'

To keep an organization young and fit, don't hire anyone until everybody's so overworked they'll be glad to see the newcomer no matter where he sits.

A leader is not an administrator who loves to run others, but someone who carries water for his people so that they can get on with their jobs.

When you get right down to it, one of the most important tasks of a leader is to eliminate his people's excuse for failure.

Getting there isn't half the fun - it's all the fun.
