No Leader Can Create Sustainable, Significant Change

The Leader Has A Clear Idea Of What He Wants To Do Professionally And Personally, And The Strength To Persist In The Face Of Setbacks, Even Failures

Unlike Top Management At Enron, Exemplary Leaders Reward Dissent. They Encourage It. They Understand That, Whatever Momentary Discomfort They Experience As A Result Of Being Told They Might Be Wrong, It Is More Than Offset By The Fact That The Information Will Help Them Make Better Decisions.

Excellence Is A Better Teacher Than Mediocrity.

Great Leaders Love Talent And Know Where To Find It. They Surround Themselves With Talented People Who Can Work Effectively Together.

Leadership (according To John Sculley) Revolves Around Vision, Ideas, Direction, And Has More To Do With Inspiring People As To Direction And Goals Than With Day-to-day Implementation. A Leader Must Be Able To Leverage More Than His Own Capabilities. He Must Be Capable Of Inspiring Other People To Do Things Without Actually Sitting On Top Of Them With A Checklist.
