One of the things about leadership is that you cannot be a moderate, balanced, thoughtful, careful articulator of policy. You've got to be on the lunatic fringe.

Change before you have to.

If the rate of change on the outside exceeds the rate of change on the inside, the end is near.

Getting candor right - with your reports, your peers, and your boss - is a skill that can make or break your career.

When all is said and done, teaching is what I try to do for a living.

If you want risk taking, set an example yourself and reward and praise those that do.

Nobody is too important to lead the initiative you say is important.
