Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.

The art of leadership... consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention.

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.

I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.

The essence of leadership is to get others to do something because they think you want it done and because they know it is worth while doing.

The freedom of the individual and his willingness to follow real leadership are at the core of America's strength.
