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

Leadership (according to John Sculley) revolves around vision, ideas, direction, and has more to do with inspiring people as to direction and goals than with day-to-day implementation. A leader must be able to leverage more than his own capabilities. He must be capable of inspiring other people to do things without actually sitting on top of them with a checklist.

Effective leaders make a full commitment to be a learner, to keep increasing and nourishing their knowledge and wisdom.

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

Those who take risks walk the high wire with no fear of falling.

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

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