Leaders keep their eyes on the horizon, not just on the bottom line.

Failing organizations are usually over-managed and under-led.

The learning person looks forward to failure or mistakes. The worst problem in leadership is basically early success.

More leaders have been made by accident, circumstance, sheer grit, or will than have been made by all the leadership courses put together.

Leaders know the importance of having someone in their lives who will unfailingly and fearlessly tell them the truth.

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

While great leaders may be as rare as great runners, great actors, or great painters, everyone has leadership potential, just as everyone has some ability at running, acting, and painting.
