The day the soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.

Being responsible sometimes means pissing people off.

You don't know what you can get away with until you try.

Leadership is the art of accomplishing more than the science of management says is possible.

Never neglect details. When everyone's mind is dulled or distracted the leader must be doubly vigilant.

The commander in the field is always right and the rear echelon is wrong, unless proved otherwise.

Effective leaders are made, not born. They learn from trial and error, and from experience.

You know you're a good leader when people follow you out of curiosity.

Trust is the essence of Leadership.
