Leaders focus on the soft stuff: People, Values, Character, Commitment, A cause. All of the stuff that was supposed to be too goo-goo to count in business. Yet it's the stuff that real leaders take care of first and forever. That's why leadership is an art, not a science.
Tom Peters

In order to make a fire burn, you fan the live coals. In order to keep your organization fired up, it’s imperative that you find and motivate the leaders or potential leaders in your organization regardless of how far down the line they might be.
~ Dexter Yager

You do not lead by hitting people over the head—that's assault, not leadership.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

To lead people, walk beside them . . .
As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence.
The next best, the people honor and praise.
The next, the people fear;
and the next, the people hate . . .
When the best leader’s work is done the people say, "We did it ourselves!"
Lao-tse
