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.

the leader releases energy, unites energies, and all with the object not only of carrying out a purpose, but of creating further and larger purposes. And I do not mean here by larger purposes mergers or more branches; I speak of larger in the qualitative rather than the quantitative sense. I mean purposes which will include more of those fundamental values for which most of us agree we are really living.

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.

The manager cannot share his power with division superintendent or foreman or workman, but he can give them opportunities for developing their power.

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

The best leader does not ask people to serve him, but the common end. The best leader has not followers, but men and women working with him.

Unity, not uniformity, must be our aim. We attain unity only through variety. Differences must be integrated, not annihilated, not absorbed.
