Coaching will become the model for leaders in the future... I am certain that leadership can be learned and that terrific coaches... facilitate learning.

The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.

People who cannot invent and reinvent themselves must be content with borrowed postures, secondhand ideas, fitting in instead of standing out.

Trust is the emotional glue that binds followers and leaders together.

One of the worst mistakes is to do nothing.

Great leaders love talent and know where to find it. They surround themselves with talented people who can work effectively together.

Leaders are people who do the right thing: managers are people who do things right. Both roles are crucial, but they differ profoundly. I often observe people in top positions doing wrong things well.
