Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
The leader has to be practical and a realist, yet must talk the language of the visionary and the idealist.
You can't blow an uncertain trumpet.
Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.
Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.
Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet.
The art of leadership is saying no, not saying yes. It is very easy to say yes.
Leaders are visionaries with a poorly developed sense of fear and no concept of the odds against them.
The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them.
Leaders need to be optimists. Their vision is beyond the present.
Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.
People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.

Looking up gives light, although at first it makes you dizzy.
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

Leadership is getting someone to do what they don't want to do but to achieve what they want to achieve.
Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.
