Leadership, like swimming, cannot be learned by reading about it.

We have great managers who havent spent a day in management school. Do we have great surgeons that havent spent a day in surgical school?

Everyone is against micro managing but macro managing means you're working at the big picture but don't know the details.

Managers who don't lead are quite discouraging, but leaders who don't manage don't know what's going on. It's a phony separation that people are making between the two.

Strategy-making is an immensely complex process involving the most sophisticated, subtle, and at times subconscious of human cognitive and social processes.

It is time to recognize conventional MBA programs for what they are - or else to close them down. They are specialized training in the functions of business, not general educating in the practice of management.

Companies are communities. Theres a spirit of working together. Communities are not a place where a few people allow themselves to be singled out as solely responsible for success.
