The new leader is one who commits people to action, who converts followers into leaders, and who may convert leaders into agents of change.

If you're the leader, you've got to give up your omniscient and omnipotent fantasies - that you know and must do everything. Learn how to abandon your ego to the talents of others.

Leadership is a function of knowing yourself, having a vision that is well communicated, building trust among colleagues, and taking effective action to realize your own leadership potential.

Great things are accomplished by talented people who believe they will accomplish them.

Those who take risks walk the high wire with no fear of falling.

The first job of a leader is to define a vision for the organization...the capacity to translate vision into reality.

The manager does things right; the leader does the right thing.
