I am reminded how hollow the label of leadership sometimes is and how heroic followership can be.

Failing organizations are usually over-managed and under-led.

The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born.

The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.

Leaders learn by leading, and they learn bestby leading in the face of obstacles. As weather shapes mountains, problems shape leaders.

You are your own raw material. When you know what you consist of and what you want to make of it, then you can invent yourself.

Find the appropriate balance of competing claims by various groups of stakeholders. All claims deserve consideration but some claims are more important than others.

Leaders are people who do the right thing; managers are people who do things right.

Leaders must earn the trust of their teams, their organizations, and their stakeholders before attempting to engage their support.

Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple, and it is also that difficult.

Trust is the emotional glue that binds followers and leaders together.

No, matter how sinful we are there is a way to repent.

If you're not going to use your free speech to criticize your own government, then what the hell is the point of having it?

By the time I'm 40, interplanetary travel will be common. Nobody will want to talk to me at that age, anyway.

Teachers, who educate children, deserve more honour than parents, who merely gave them birth; for the latter provided mere life, while the former ensure a good life.

Maybe part of loving is learning to let go.

If we get above the individualized soul's journey, you will see that we are all one. We are all one light. In that sense, we are all enlightened.

Make winners out of every business in your company. Don't carry losers.

pain always feels brand new no matter how much experience you've had with it!

A political satirist's job is to draw blood. I'm not so much interested in politics as I am in overthrowing the government.

I don't work out too much. I just do some pushups when I feel the right hook is getting a lil weak.
