All Great Leaders Constantly Seek New Information

The Crucible Is A Dividing Line, A Turning Point, And Those Who Have Gone Through It Feel They Are Very Different From The Way They Were Before. Believing That They Have Been Transformed Or Have Transformed Themselves, Those Who Survive The Crucible (and Many Don't) Are More Confident, More Willing To Take Future Risks. That New Self-confidence Is Grounded In The Belief That He Or She Has Done Something Hard And Done It Well.

People In Great Groups Have Blinders On. Their Work Is All They See. They Value Failures As Learning Opportunities. They Are Optimistic, Not Realistic, As They Proceed From One Challenge And Crisis To The Next.

The Capacity For "uncontaminated Wonder," Ultimately, Is What Distinguishes The Successful From The Ordinary, The Happily Engaged Players Of Whatever Era From The Chronically Disappointed And Malcontent. Therein Lies A Lesson For Geeks, Geezers, And The Sea Of People Who Fall In Between.

Leaders Must Encourage Their Organizations To Dance To Forms Of Music Yet To Be Heard.
