Never Underestimate The Magnitude Of The Power

Leadership Defines What The Future Should Look Like, Aligns People With That Vision, And Inspires Them To Make It Happen Despite The Obstacles.

Motivation And Inspiration Energize People, Not By Pushing Them In The Right Direction As Control Mechanisms Do But By Satisfying Basic Human Needs For Achievement, A Sense Of Belonging, Recognition, Self-esteem, A Feeling Of Control Over One's Life, And The Ability To Live Up To One's Ideals. Such Feelings Touch Us Deeply And Elicit A Powerful Response.

Overcoming Complacency Is Crucial At The Start Of Any Change Process, And It Often Requires A Little Bit Of Surprise, Something That Grabs Attention At More Than An Intellectual Level. You Need To Surprise People With Something That Disturbs Their View That Everything Is Perfect.

Managers Are Trained To Make Incremental, Programmatic Improvements. They Aren't Trained To Lead Large-scale Change.

Great Communicators Have An Appreciation For Positioning. They Understand The People They're Trying To Reach And What They Can And Can't Hear. They Send Their Message In Through An Open Door Rather Than Trying To Push It Through A Wall.
