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

The first job of a leader is to define a vision for the organization...the capacity to translate vision into reality.

Just as no great painting has ever been created by a committee, no great vision has ever emerged from the herd.

It is the capacity to develop and improve their skills that distinguishes leaders from followers.

The manager administers; the leader innovates.

Trust resides squarely between faith and doubt.

While great leaders may be as rare as great runners, great actors, or great painters, everyone has leadership potential, just as everyone has some ability at running, acting, and painting.
