Successful organizations, including the Military, have learned that the higher the risk, the more necessary it is to engage everyone's commitment and intelligence.

In organizations, real power and energy is generated through relationships. The patterns of relationships and the capacities to form them are more important than tasks, functions, roles, and positions.

Aggression only breeds more aggression. It only creates more fear and anger.

Organizations are now confronted with two sources of change: the traditional type that is initiated and managed; and external changes over which no one has control.

All of us need better skills in listening, conversing, respecting one another's uniqueness, because these are essential for strong relationships.

I'm sad to report that in the past few years, ever since uncertainty became our insistent 21st century companion, leadership has taken a great leap backwards to the familiar territory of command and control.

Without reflection, we go blindly on our way.
