Guidelines for Appropriate Leadership (Colin Powell - edited):

•	Being responsible sometimes means getting people angry.
•	Don't be buffaloed by experts. Experts often possess more data than judgement.
•	Never neglect details. When everyone's mind is dulled or distracted the leader must be doubly vigilant.
•	Keep looking below surface appearances. Don't shrink from doing so just because you might not like what you find.
•	Endeavours succeed or fail because of the people involved.
•	Only by attracting the best people will you accomplish great deeds.
•	Fit no stereotypes. The situation dictates which approach best accomplishes the team's mission.
•	Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.
•	'Powell's rules for picking people': look for intelligence and judgement and, most critically, a capacity to anticipate, to see round corners. Also look for loyalty, integrity, a high-energy drive, a balanced ego and the drive to get things done. Select quality not qualifications.
•	Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate and doubt, to offer a solution everybody can understand
