... you must know that a superior is not late, but held up, not asleep but resting, not wrong, but incorrectly briefed.

The man who commands efficiently must have obeyed others in the past, and the man who obeys dutifully is worthy of being some day a commander.

The real leader has no need to lead-he is content to point the way.

Those who try to lead the people can only do so by following the mob. It is through the voice of one crying in the wilderness that the ways of the gods must be prepared.

If you command wisely, you'll be obeyed cheerfully.

Any one can hold the helm when the sea is calm.

The leader must know, must know that he knows, and must be able to make it abundantly clear to those about him that he knows.

A chief is a man who assumes responsibility. He says, "I was beaten." He does not say, "My men were beaten." Thus speaks a real man.

Clearly no one knows what leadership has gone undiscovered in women of all races, and in black and other minority men.

A leader is a dealer in hope.
