To measure a leader, put a tape around his heart, not his head.

“The dreams and passions stored within hearts are powerful keys which can unlock a wealth of potential.”
“Failed plans should not be interpreted as a failed vision. Visions don't change, they are only refined. Plans rarely stay the same, and are scrapped or adjusted as needed. Be stubborn about the vision, but flexible with your plan.”
“Goals not only help you develop initial motivation by making your dreams obtainable, but they also help you continue to be motivated and that creates momentum.”

“Tis the times' plague, when madmen lead the blind.”
“Leadership is the challenge to be something more than average.”
“Therefore the Sage, wishing to be above the people, must by his words put himself below them; wishing to be before the people, he must put himself behind them. In this way, though he has his place above them, the people do not feel his weight; though he has his place before them, they do not feel it as an injury. Therefore all mankind delight to exalt him, and weary of him not.”
More on Character
“Character is always known. Thefts never enrich; alms never impoverish; murder will speak out of stone walls.”
“It is the man determines what is said, not the words.”
“For neither does wealth bring honour to the owner, if he be a coward; of such a one the wealth belongs to another, and not to himself. Nor does beauty and strength of body, when dwelling in a base and cowardly man, appear comely, but the reverse of comely, making the possessor more conspicuous, and manifesting forth his cowardice.”
