Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.
You don't lead by hitting people over the head - that's assault, not leadership.
Never forget that no military leader has ever become great without audacity.
Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.
Always do everything you ask of those you command.
The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them.
The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on.
A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.
Live for something rather than die for nothing.
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.
The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.
Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.
Set your course by the stars, not by the lights of every passing ship.
Live for something rather than die for nothing. —George Patton
The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet.
You can't blow an uncertain trumpet.
