Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.
Subject: Leadership

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.

What makes a good follower? The single most important characteristic may well be a willingness to tell the truth. In a world of growing complexity leaders are increasingly dependent on their subordinates for good information, whether the leaders want to hear it or not. Followers who tell the truth and leaders who listen to it are an unbeatable combination.

Leadership is the wise use of power. Power is the capacity to translate intention into reality and sustain it.

Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery. Everyone feels that he or she makes a difference to the success of the organization. When that happens people feel centered and that gives their work meaning.

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.

The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective.

Leaders must encourage their organizations to dance to forms of music yet to be heard.

Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple, and it is also that difficult.

Taking charge of your own learning is a part of taking charge of your life, which is the sine qua non in becoming an integrated person

The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.

There are two ways of being creative. One can sing and dance. Or one can create an environment in which singers and dancers flourish.

Leaders are people who do the right thing; managers are people who do things right.

Great things are accomplished by talented people who believe they will accomplish them.

Failing organizations are usually over-managed and under-led.

The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment.

Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery.

The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.

People who cannot invent and reinvent themselves must be content with borrowed postures, secondhand ideas, fitting in instead of standing out.

There is a profound difference between information and meaning.
