There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think anybody can relate to the reluctance to have to lead sometimes.
To get others to come into our ways of thinking, we must go over to theirs; and it is necessary to follow, in order to lead.
We have created trouble for ourselves in organizations by confusing control with order.
It takes a great deal of courage to follow another person's lead.
I always say it takes as much preparation and thought to do a small part as a leading part. In some ways, leads are easier because you have the luxury of time to discover the character.
You cannot lead others until you have first learned to lead yourself.
Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.
All things are difficult before they are easy.
Anticipate the difficult by managing the easy.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
