This duality, making yourself better while teaching and developing others' judgment capabilities, is the key to leadership that is both productive and principled.

Manage the dream: Create a compelling vision, one that takes people to a new place, and then translate that vision into a reality.

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

Leaders must earn the trust of their teams, their organizations, and their stakeholders before attempting to engage their support.

Without a terrific leader, you're not going to have a Great Group. But it is also true that you're not going to have a great leader without a Great Group.

Encourage reflective backtalk: Leaders know the importance of having someone in their lives who will unfailingly and fearlessly tell them the truth.

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