Expect The Best From Your People And

Successful Leadership Is Not About Being Tough Or Soft, Sensitive Or Assertive, But About A Set Of Attributes. First And Foremost Is Character

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.

No Leader Can Create Sustainable, Significant Change Without A Reservoir Of Good Will. Without That, You Always Tend To Compromise With Failure.

The Organizations Of The Future Will Increasingly Depend On The Creativity Of Their Members To Survive. Great Groups Offer A New Model In Which The Leader Is An Equal Among Titans. In A Truly Creative Collaboration, Work Is Pleasure, And The Only Rules And Procedures Are Those That Advance The Common Cause.

Encourage Reflective Backtalk: Leaders Know The Importance Of Having Someone In Their Lives Who Will Unfailingly And Fearlessly Tell Them The Truth.
