John Wooden on leadership

Don’t measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

Adversity is the state in which man mostly easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then.

Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.

George S. Patton1885–1945Often credited to Thomas Paine

The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.

Henry Kissinger1923–2023

Being a leader is like being a lady, if you have to go around telling people you are one, you aren’t.

Margaret Thatcher1925–2013
