The Learning Person Looks Forward To Failure Or Mistakes. The Worst Problem In Leadership Is Basically Early Success.

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.

The Manager Administers; The Leader Innovates. The Manager Has A Short-range View; The Leader Has A Long-range Perspective. The Manager Asks How And When; The Leader Asks What And Why. The Manager Has His Eye On The Bottom Line; The Leader Has His Eye On The Horizon. The Manager Accepts The Status Quo; The Leader Challenges It.

One Of The Qualities That All The Leaders Have Is A Voracious Appetite To Learn Whatever They Do Not As Yet Know And Understand, Coupled With An Openness To New Experiences.

The First Job Of A Leader Is To Define A Vision For The Organization...the Capacity To Translate Vision Into Reality.
