Now that we are recognizing more fully the value of the individual, now that management is defining more exactly the function of each, many are coming to regard the leader as the man who can energize his group, who knows how to encourage initiative, how to draw from all what each has to give.

In crowds we have unison, in groups harmony. We want the single voice but not the single note; that is the secret of the group.

we should think not only of what the leader does to the group, but also of what the group does to 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.

Leadership is not defined by the exercise of power but by the capacity to increase the sense of power among those led. The most essential work of the leader is to create more leaders.

In the small group then is where we shall find the inner meaning of democracy, its very heart and core.

there is a pernicious tendency to make the opinions of the expert prevail by crowd methods, to rush the people instead of educating them.
