I totally agree with the last quote (not that I don't agree with the others it's just that this one sticks out to me). You should be able to follow a leader into battle, and some you won't even follow into the bathroom. Leaders have to work harder for their employees than their employees work for them. Gain respect by your accomplishments for the team.

Two other important quotes:
Gordon Gekko's quote, "Greed is good," from Wall Street. That is why we work, unless you are a social worker.
Vito Corleone's quote, "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse." A good tip for negotiations.

@ Matt - I always felt that since a young age that the whole point of leadership was to develop those below you to replace you. You almost have to put the followers ahead of yourself! Thanks for the comment
@ Brandon - Those are two quotes I considered. Greed is good was probably number 6 but I didn't want to do two from the same flick. The Vito quote is another good one, even though it is a more referencing extortion and threats. :) Thanks Brandon!
