Leaders is the new organisation do not lack motivational tools, but the tools are different from those of traditional corporate bureaucrats. The new rewards are based not on status but on contribution, and they consist not of regular promotion and automatic pay rises, but of excitement about the mission and a share of the glory of success.

Change is a threat when done to me, but an opportunity when done by me.

The difference between "winners" and "losers" is not whether they face obstacles and setbacks - we all do, and it is inevitable that plans do not unfold exactly as imagined or that unexpected events surprise us or that a few mistakes happen. The real difference is that "winners" bounce back from a fumble or a loss by refusing to panic, analyzing the situation and looking for positive actions they can take to correct the problem, and then go on to resume winning.

Corporate men and women, once divided by striking differences in opportunity for career growth, have come to share career chaos.

Change is like putting lipstick on a bulldog. The bulldog's appearance hasn't improved, but now it's really angry.

Confidence is the bridge connecting expectations and performance, investment and results.

Confidence makes you willing to try harder and attracts the kind of support from others that makes "winning" possible.
