Leadership produces change. That is its primary function

The central issue is never strategy, structure, culture, or systems. The core of the matter is always about changing the behavior of people.

Leadership is different from management, but not for the reasons most people think.

Good communication does not mean that you have to speak in perfectly formed sentences and paragraphs. It isn't about slickness. Simple and clear go a long way.

Managers are trained to make incremental, programmatic improvements. They aren't trained to lead large-scale change.

People are more inclined to be drawn in if their leader has a compelling vision. Great leaders help people get in touch with their own aspirations and then will help them forge those aspirations into a personal vision.

Anyone in a large organization who thinks major change is impossible should probably get out.
