We See, We Feel, We Change.

Over The Years I Have Become Convinced That We Learn Best - And Change - From Hearing Stories That Strike A Chord Within Us ... Those In Leadership Positions Who Fail To Grasp Or Use The Power Of Stories Risk Failure For Their Companies And For Themselves.

One Of The Most Powerful Forms Of Information Is Feedback On Our Own Actions.

Effective Leaders Help Others To Understand The Necessity Of Change And To Accept A Common Vision Of The Desired Outcome.

Great Leadership Does Not Mean Running Away From Reality. Sometimes The Hard Truths Might Just Demoralize The Company, But At Other Times Sharing Difficulties Can Inspire People To Take Action That Will Make The Situation Better.

In Terms Of Getting People To Experiment More And Take More Risk, There Are At Least Three Things That Immediately Come To My Mind. Number One, Of Course, Is Role-modeling It Yourself. Number Two Is When People Take Intelligent, Smart Risks And Yet It Doesn't Work Out, Not Shooting Them. And Number Three, Being Honest With Yourself. If The Culture You Have Is Radically Different From An Experiment And Take-risk Culture, Then You Have A Big Change You Going To Have To Make—and No Little Gimmicks Are Going To Do It For You.
