The Future Has No Shelf Life

Leadership Is The Capacity To Translate Vision Into Reality.

Ineffective Leaders Often Act On The Advice And Counsel Of The Last Person They Talked To.

The Leaders I Met, Whatever Walk Of Life They Were From, Whatever Institutions They Were Presiding Over, Always Referred Back To The Same Failure Something That Happened To Them That Was Personally Difficult, Even Traumatic, Something That Made Them Feel That Desperate Sense Of Hitting Bottom-as Something They Thought Was Almost A Necessity. It's As If At That Moment The Iron Entered Their Soul; That Moment Created The Resilience That Leaders Need.

Leaders Are People Who Believe So Passionately That They Can Seduce Other People Into Sharing Their Dream.

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.
