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

That's important to remember: it's not just a collection of great individuals but a group of people who enjoy playing in the sandbox, thoroughly enjoying collaborative problem solving.

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

I used to think that running an organization was equivalent to conducting a symphony orchestra. But I don't think that's quite it; it's more like jazz. There is more improvisation.

All great leaders constantly seek new information and new ways of thinking.

Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple, and it is also that difficult.

In great groups, the right people always have the right job.
