We spend…
We spend a lot of time teaching leaders what to do. We don’t spend enough time teaching leaders what to stop. Most of the leaders I have met don’t need to learn what to do, they need to learn what to stop.

Plans….
Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work

The most important….
The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn’t being said

Your first….
Your first and foremost job as a leader is to take charge of your own energy and then help to orchestrate the energy of those around you.

Leadership….
Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to high sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.

No executives…
No executive has ever suffered because his subordinates were strong and effective.

Charisma…
Charisma becomes the undoing of leaders. It makes them inflexible, convinced of their own infallibility, unable to change.

The leaders who…
.. work most effectively, it seems to me, never say ‘I’. And that’s not because they have trained themselves not to say ‘I’. They don’t think ‘I’. They think ‘we’; they think ‘team’. They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don’t sidestep it, but ‘we’ gets the credit…. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.
