Great groups give the lie to the remarkably persistent but incorrect notion that successful organizations are the lengthened shadow of a great woman or man. However, each great group has a strong leader. In fact, great groups and great leaders create each other.

Our tendency to create heroes rarely jibes with the reality that most nontrivial problems require collective solutions.

Expect the best from your people and they will usually deliver but your expectations must be realistic.

One of the worst mistakes is to do nothing.

That is the key challenge facing management today; change is the only constant.

The future has no shelf life

Great things are accomplished by talented people who believe they will accomplish them.
