If you don't understand that you work for your mislabeled 'subordinates,' then you know nothing of leadership. You know only tyranny.

We are at that very point in time when a 400-year old age is rattling in its death bed and another is struggling to be born.

The reason is still difficult to explain, but it is not complicated. That inner voice that will not be denied, once we learn to listen to it, had whispered since the beginning, "Business is not what your life is about. Founding VISA and being its chief executive officer is something you must do, but it's only preparatory."

Given the right circumstances, from no more than dreams, determination, and the liberty to try, quite ordinary people consistently do extraordinary things

Making good judgments when one has complete data, facts, and knowledge is not leadership - it's bookkeeping

If you think you can't, why think

Control is not leadership; management is not leadership; leadership is leadership is leadership. If you seek to lead, invest at least 50% of your time leading yourself-your own purpose, ethics, principles, motivation, conduct. Invest at least 20% leading those with authority over you and 15% leading your peers. If you don't understand that you work for your mislabeled 'subordinates,' then you know nothing of leadership. You know only tyranny.
