Organizations should try to find out if their learning programs actually work.

Effective leaders make a full commitment to be a learner, to keep increasing and nourishing their knowledge and wisdom.

Government is like an onion. To understand it, you have to peel through many different layers. Most outsiders never get beyond the first or second layer.

What job is worth the enormous psychic cost of following a leader who values loyalty in the narrowest sense.

Perhaps the central task of the leader of leaders thus becomes the development of other leaders.

People who cannot invent and reinvent themselves must be content with borrowed postures, secondhand ideas, fitting in instead of standing out.

The organizations of the future will increasingly depend on the creativity of their members to survive. Great Groups offer a new model in which the leader is an equal among Titans. In a truly creative collaboration, work is pleasure, and the only rules and procedures are those that advance the common cause.
