Leaders are people who do the right thing: managers are people who do things right. Both roles are crucial, but they differ profoundly. I often observe people in top positions doing wrong things well.

Recognize and respect mutual self-interests, then build creative collaborations to serve them.

Think of successful creative collaborations are dreams with deadlines.

Those who take risks walk the high wire with no fear of falling.

Frank Gehry designs buildings that make other architects half his age (he's 78) gasp with envy. Neotony is what makes him lace up his skates and whirl around the ice rink, while visionary buildings come to life and dance in his head.

Companies which get misled by their own success are sure to be blind sided.

Leadership is like beauty - it's hard to define but you know it when you see it.
