Leaders wonder about everything, want to learn as much as they can, are willing to take risks, experiment, try new things. They do not worry about failure but embrace errors, knowing they will learn from them.

The basis of leadership is the capacity of the leader to change the mindset, the framework of the other person.

Trust is the emotional glue that binds followers and leaders together.

The learning person looks forward to failure or mistakes. The worst problem in leadership is basically early success.

The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.

The new leader is one who commits people to action, who converts followers into leaders, and who may convert leaders into agents of change.

Vision animates, inspires, transforms purpose into action.
