Like the gardener, a leader must take responsibility for what he cultivates; he must mind his work, try to repel enemies, preserve what can be preserved, and eliminate what cannot succeed.

The qualities of a great man are vision, integrity, courage, understanding, the power of articulation, and profundity of character.

The supreme quality for a leader is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.

Companies must have a noble cause, and it's the leaders job to transform that noble cause into such an inspiring vision, that it will attract the most talented people in the world to want to join it.

A leader should give the credit of the success to the team members. But when failure comes, leaders should absorb the failures and protect the team members.

When you delegate something to a subordinate... it is absolutely your responsibility, and he must understand this. You as a leader must take complete responsibility for what the subordinate does.
