Excellence Is A Better Teacher Than Mediocrity.

Great Groups Give The Lie To The Remarkably Persistent But Incorrect Notion That Successful Organizations Are The Lengthened Shadow Of A Great Woman Or Man. However, Each Great Group Has A Strong Leader. In Fact, Great Groups And Great Leaders Create Each Other.

The Manager Does Things Right; The Leader Does The Right Thing.

Encourage Dissent: Leaders Should Have Associates Who Have Contrary Views, Who Are Devil's Advocates, "variance Sensors" Who Can Tell Them The Difference Between What Is Expected And What Is Really Happening, Between What They Want To Hear And What They Need To Hear. There Are Too Many Naked Emperors Running Around Today.

In Life, Change Is Inevitable. In Business, Change Is Vital.

It Is The Capacity To Develop And Improve Their Skills That Distinguishes Leaders From Followers.
