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

Expect the best from your people and they will usually deliver but your expectations must be realistic.

Leaders are people who believe so passionately that they can seduce other people into sharing their dream.

The manager administers; the leader innovates.

Great leaders love talent and know where to find it. They surround themselves with talented people who can work effectively together.

Leaders learn by leading, and they learn bestby leading in the face of obstacles. As weather shapes mountains, problems shape leaders.

That's nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.
