Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.

Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.

Management is doing a thing right; leadership is doing the right things.

Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.

Leadership is not magnetic personality — that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not 'making friends and influencing people' — that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person's vision to high sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.
