In Great Groups, The Right People Always

The Most Dangerous Leadership Myth Is That Leaders Are Born - That There Is A Genetic Factor To Leadership. This Myth Asserts That People Simply Either Have Certain Charismatic Qualities Or Not. That's Nonsense; In Fact, The Opposite Is True. Leaders Are Made Rather Than Born.

Understand The "gretzky Factor": Cultivate An Instinct, A "touch", Call It What You Will, That Enables You To Know Both Where The "puck" Is Now And Where It Will Be Soon.

Embrace Error: Create An Atmosphere In Which Prudent Risk Taking Is Strongly Encouraged.

Without A Terrific Leader, You're Not Going To Have A Great Group. But It Is Also True That You're Not Going To Have A Great Leader Without A Great Group.

The Manager Administers; The Leader Innovates. The Manager Has A Short-range View; The Leader Has A Long-range Perspective. The Manager Asks How And When; The Leader Asks What And Why. The Manager Has His Eye On The Bottom Line; The Leader Has His Eye On The Horizon. The Manager Accepts The Status Quo; The Leader Challenges It.
