Understand the "Pygmalion Effect": Leaders should always expect the very best of those around them. They know that people can change and grow.

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

There is a profound difference between information and meaning.

I am reminded how hollow the label of leadership sometimes is and how heroic followership can be.

In order to serve its purpose, a vision has to be a shared vision.

Leaders keep their eyes on the horizon, not just on the bottom line.

Frank Gehry designs buildings that make other architects half his age (he's 78) gasp with envy. Neotony is what makes him lace up his skates and whirl around the ice rink, while visionary buildings come to life and dance in his head.
