Groucho Marx I would never belong to a group that would accept someone like me as a member. A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them. A good leader is a person who takes a little more than his share of the blame and a little less than his share of the credit. Good executives never put off until tomorrow what they can get someone else to do today. A big man is one who makes us feel bigger when we are with him.
People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.
Learn to say no to the good so you can say yes to the best. Leadership is influence. The relationship between commitment and doubt is by no means an antagonistic one. Commitment is healthiest when it not without doubt but in spite of doubt. But in the end, suspend judgment until you've been there.
