Growing other leaders from the ranks isn't just the duty of the leader, it's an obligation.

The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.

Ineffective leaders often act on the advice and counsel of the last person they talked to.

Leaders are people who do the right thing; managers are people who do things right.

Judgment without character is expediency... or worse.

Our tendency to create heroes rarely jibes with the reality that most nontrivial problems require collective solutions.
