More leaders have been made by accident, circumstance, sheer grit, or will than have been made by all the leadership courses put together.

Understand the "Pygmalion Effect": Leaders should always expect the very best of those around them. They know that people can change and grow.

Great Groups need to know that the person at the top will fight like a tiger for them.

Successful leaders are great askers

You are your own raw material. When you know what you consist of and what you want to make of it, then you can invent yourself.

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

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.
