All Claims Deserve Consideration But Some Claims

The First Job Of A Leader Is To Define A Vision For The Organization...the Capacity To Translate Vision Into Reality.

The Leader...is Rarely The Brightest Person In The Group. Rather They Have Extraordinary Taste, Which Makes Them More Curators Than Creators. They Are Appreciators Of Talent And Nurturers Of Talent And They Have The Ability To Recognize Valuable Ideas.

Those Who Take Risks Walk The High Wire With No Fear Of Falling.

The Failure To Find The Right Niche For People - Or To Let Them Find Their Own Perfect Niches - Is A Major Reason That So Many Workplaces Are Mediocre, Even Toxic, In Spite Of The Presence Of Talent. Leaders Of Great Groups Give Them Whatever They Need And Free Them From Everything Else.
