Create strategic alliances and partnerships: Now and in years to come, shrewd leaders will create allegiances with other organizations whose fates are correlated with their own.

Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple, and it is also that difficult.

Recognize the skills and traits you don't possess, and hire the people who have them.

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

The organizations of the future will increasingly depend on the creativity of their members to survive. Great Groups offer a new model in which the leader is an equal among Titans. In a truly creative collaboration, work is pleasure, and the only rules and procedures are those that advance the common cause.

A new leader has to be able to change an organization that is dreamless, soulless and visionless... someone's got to make a wake up call.

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