Find the appropriate balance of competing claims by various groups of stakeholders. All claims deserve consideration but some claims are more important than others.
From Warren Bennis
Leaders keep their eyes on the horizon, not just on the bottom line.
The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.
Create a compelling vision, one that takes people to a new place, and then translate that vision into a reality.
The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.
There is a profound difference between information and meaning.
I wanted the influence. In the end I wasn't very good at being a president. I looked out of the window and thought that the man cutting the lawn actually seemed to have more control over what he was doing.
Trust is the lubrication that makes it possible for organizations to work.
The manager has his eye on the bottom line; the leader has his eye on the horizon.
Leaders know the importance of having someone in their lives who will unfailingly and fearlessly tell them the truth.
