Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity. – George S. Patton




Leadership is the ability to get men to do what they don’t want to do and like it. – Harry Truman



If you would rule the world quietly, you must keep it amused – Ralph Waldo Emerson



The real leader has no need to lead – he is content to point the way. – Henry Miller



You don’t have to be intellectualy bright to be a competent leader. – Sir Edmund Hillary



I have an absolute rule. I refuse to make a decision that somebody else can make. The first rule of leadership is to save yourself for the big decision. Don’t allow your mind to become cluttered with the trivia. Don’t let yourself become the issue. – Richard Nixon



The art of leadership consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention. – Adolf Hitler
