Successful Leaders Are Great Askers

Our Tendency To Create Heroes Rarely Jibes With The Reality That Most Nontrivial Problems Require Collective Solutions.

Charisma Is The Result Of Effective Leadership, Not The Other Way Around.

I Used To Think That Running An Organization Was Equivalent To Conducting A Symphony Orchestra. But I Don't Think That's Quite It; It's More Like Jazz. There Is More Improvisation.

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

A Leader Is Someone Whose Actions Have The Most Profound Consequences On Other People's Lives, For Better Or Worse, Sometime Forever And Ever.
