“The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been. ”
“A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go, but ought to be.”
“Learn from the people Plan with the people Begin with what they have Build on what they know Of the best leaders When the task is accomplished The people will remark We have done it ourselves.”
“Leaders are people who know exactly who they are. They know exactly where they want to go. They’re hell-bent on getting there.”
“A leader takes people where they would never go on their own.”
