Followers who tell the truth, and leaders who listen to it, are an unbeatable combination.

Neotony is a metaphor for the quality of life - the gift - that keeps the fortunate of whatever age focused on all the marvelous undiscovered things to come.

Leaders must earn the trust of their teams, their organizations, and their stakeholders before attempting to engage their support.

Walt Disney, of all people, did a good job of describing his own netony. "People who have worked with me say I am 'innocence in action,'" he wrote. "They say I have the innocence and unselfconsciousness of a child. Maybe I have. I still look at the world with uncontaminated wonder."

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

Great groups deliver great results. And for everyone involved in a great group, great work is its own reward.

Without a terrific leader, you're not going to have a Great Group. But it is also true that you're not going to have a great leader without a Great Group.
