will never know how really good we are as leaders unless we

right results in the wrong ways.'

'Getting along is not necessarily getting results.'

it.'

have to make the most of it when it happens.'
-
'The best leaders make use of the simplest of ideas.'
- 'If
you are always right, you are usually wrong.'
-

it in a human being.'
-
'The most persuasive art of leadership is to hide your leadership.'

but a hard life for others.'

leaders.'

action but that they GET TO take that action.'
-
'Half the art of listening is waiting.'
-
'To get the best out of people, embrace the best in them.'
-
'People are often unaware of the best that's in them. When
you show it to them, you are half way down the road to motivating
them to be your cause leaders.'
-
'Achievement needs three things, the leader, the cause leader,
and the moment.'
-
'In the long run, the most important results of leadership
are not what we achieve but what we become in that achieving.'
