To Become A Leader, Then, You Must

Companies Which Get Misled By Their Own Success Are Sure To Be Blind Sided.

The Manager Asks How And When; The Leader Asks What And Why.

Vision Animates, Inspires, Transforms Purpose Into Action.

The Crucible Is A Dividing Line, A Turning Point, And Those Who Have Gone Through It Feel They Are Very Different From The Way They Were Before. Believing That They Have Been Transformed Or Have Transformed Themselves, Those Who Survive The Crucible (and Many Don't) Are More Confident, More Willing To Take Future Risks. That New Self-confidence Is Grounded In The Belief That He Or She Has Done Something Hard And Done It Well.
