Leaders establish the vision for the future and set the strategy for getting there.

Most US corporations today are over-managed and under-led. They need to develop their capacity to exercise leadership.

Great leaders understand that historical success tends to produce stable and inwardly focused organizations, and these outfits, in turn, reinforce a feeling of contentment with the status quo.

Producing major change in an organization is not just about signing up one charismatic leader. You need a group - a team - to be able to drive the change. One person, even a terrific charismatic leader, is never strong enough to make all this happen.

In an ever changing world, you never learn it all, even if you keep growing into your 90s.

Motivation is not a thinking word; it's a feeling word.

People change what they do less because they are given an analysis that shifts their thinking than because they are shown a truth that influences their feelings.
