In great groups, the right people always have the right job.

The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment.

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

First and foremost, effective leaders must continuously strive to make themselves smarter and better at making judgments.

People in great groups have blinders on. Their work is all they see. They value failures as learning opportunities. They are optimistic, not realistic, as they proceed from one challenge and crisis to the next.

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

No leader can create sustainable, significant change without a reservoir of good will. Without that, you always tend to compromise with failure.
