“Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.”

“A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.”

“A leader who produces other leaders multiples their influences.”

“Few things build a person up like affirmation. According to Webster’s New World Dictionary, Third College Edition (Simon and Schuster, 1991),the word affirm comes from ad firmare, which means “to make firm.” So when you affirm people, you make firm within them the things you see about them. Do that often enough, and the belief that solidifies within them will become stronger than the doubts they have about themselves.”

“People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.”

“When the leader lacks confidence, the followers lack commitment.”

“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.”
