be kind, but not weak;

have humor, but without folly." Jim Rohn
"People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader works in the open, and the boss in covert. The leader leads, and the boss drives." Theodore Roosevelt

The boss says "I"; The leader says "WE". The boss fixes the blame for the breakdown; the leader fixes the breakdown. The boss says, "GO"; the leader says lets, "GO!" H. Gordon Selfridge
"No person can be a great leader unless he takes genuine joy in the successes of those under him." W. A. Nance

"The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you." Max DePree
