Leaders Must Encourage Their Organizations To Dance

You Are Your Own Raw Material. When You Know What You Consist Of And What You Want To Make Of It, Then You Can Invent Yourself.

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.

To Become A Leader, Then, You Must Become Yourself, Become The Maker Of Your Own Life

If I Had To Reduce The Responsibilities Of A Good Follower To A Single Rule, It Would Be To Speak Truth To Power.

The New Leader Is One Who Commits People To Action, Who Converts Followers Into Leaders, And Who May Convert Leaders Into Agents Of Change.
