There's a time that may come in an organization where leading by influence is not enough. When things are not going the way they need to go, there's a time when one has to step up... to set the organization back on the right direction.

Every leader needs to clearly explain the top three things the organization is working on. If you can't, then you're not leading well.

I think it is quite dangerous for an organisation to think they can predict where they are going to need leadership. It needs to be something that people are willing to assume if it feels relevant, given the context of any situation.

At a very basic level, people need to know that there is constancy in their jobs and, more broadly, in where the organization is headed.

The trouble with organizing a thing is that pretty soon folks get to paying more attention to the organization than to what they're organized for.

Leaders need to be thinking constantly about what they're doing to create a basic sense of security and stability throughout an organization.

Large organization is loose organization. Nay, it would be almost as true to say that organization is always disorganization.

You know, I think when people are in important positions in big organizations, they often get tied up with the minutia of managing money, managing things. They often forget that people deserve to be led.

Once an organization has a strong sense of mission, leaders can focus on trying new things.

Every organization has issues and concerns which are known about by many people who choose to remain silent.
