Where there is no vision, the people perish. Make no little plans. They have no power to stir men's blood and probably in themselves will not be realized. Make BIG plans in the hope that they will live through the ages and become a thing of living, burning intensity. If politics is the art of the possible, then leadership is the art of defining new possibilities.
Great leaders make great decisions and solve big problems.
Leadership is known by the personalities it enriches, not by those it dominates or captivates. Leadership is not a process of exploitation of others for extraneous ends. It is a process of helping others to discover themselves in the achieving of aims which have become intrusive to them. The proof of leading is in the qualitative growth of the led as individuals and as group members. The price of greatness is responsibility.
