Getting there isn't half the fun - it's all the fun.
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.
Make every decision as if you owned the company.
If you have to have a policy manual, publish the 'Ten Commandments.'
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.
If people are coming to work excited. . . if they're making mistakes freely and fearlessly. . . if they're having fun. . . if they're concentrating on doing things rather than preparing reports and going to meetings-then somewhere you have leaders.
