Failing organizations are usually over-managed and under-led.

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

I am reminded how hollow the label of leadership sometimes is and how heroic followership can be.

There is a profound difference between information and meaning.

Leaders should always expect the very best of those around them. They know that people can change and grow.

If knowing yourself and being yourself were as easy to do as to talk about, there wouldn't be nearly so many people walking around in borrowed postures, spouting secondhand ideas, trying desperately to fit in rather than to stand out.

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