In Great Groups, The Right

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.

Good Leaders Make People Feel That They're At The Very Heart Of Things, Not At The Periphery.

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

All Of Great Leaders Evidence Four Basic Qualities That Are Central To Their Ability To Lead: Adaptive Capacity, The Ability To Engage Others Through Shared Meaning, A Distinctive Voice, And Unshakeable Integrity. These Four Qualities Mark All Exemplary Leaders, Whatever Their Age, Gender, Ethnicity, Or Race.

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.
