Leaders must encourage their organizations to dance to forms of music yet to be heard.

The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective.

Government is like an onion. To understand it, you have to peel through many different layers. Most outsiders never get beyond the first or second layer.

Encourage reflective backtalk: Leaders know the importance of having someone in their lives who will unfailingly and fearlessly tell them the truth.

Great things are achieved by talented people who are absolutely convinced that they not only can but will achieve them.

That's nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.

The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment.
