Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery.

Recognize and respect mutual self-interests, then build creative collaborations to serve them.

Leadership is a function of knowing yourself, having a vision that is well communicated, building trust among colleagues, and taking effective action to realize your own leadership potential.

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

Great groups give the lie to the remarkably persistent but incorrect notion that successful organizations are the lengthened shadow of a great woman or man. However, each great group has a strong leader. In fact, great groups and great leaders create each other.

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.

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.
