Leader and followers are both following the invisible leader - the common purpose. The best executives put this common purpose clearly before their group. While leadership depends on depth of conviction and the power coming therefrom there must also be the ability to share that conviction with others, the ability to make purpose articulate. And then that common purpose becomes the leader.

We are sometime truly to see our life as positive, not negative, as made up of continuous willing, not of constraints and prohibition.

It is possible to conceive conflict as not necessarily a wasteful outbreak of incompatibilities, but a normal process by which socially valuable differences register themselves for the enrichment of all concerned.

That is always our problem, not how to get control of people, but how all together we can get control of a situation.

It is not opposition but indifference which separates men.

It seems to me that whereas power usually means power-over, the power of some person or group over some other person or group, it is possible to develop the conception of power-with, a jointly developed power, a co-active, not a coercive power.

Power-over is resorted to time without number because people will not wait for the slower process of education.
