Some Of The Strongest Resistance To Necessary

Encourage Dissent: Leaders Should Have Associates Who Have Contrary Views, Who Are Devil's Advocates, "variance Sensors" Who Can Tell Them The Difference Between What Is Expected And What Is Really Happening, Between What They Want To Hear And What They Need To Hear. There Are Too Many Naked Emperors Running Around Today.

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.

Perhaps The Central Task Of The Leader Of Leaders Thus Becomes The Development Of Other Leaders.

Trust Is The Lubrication That Makes It Possible For Organizations To Work.

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