More quotes by Harlan Cleveland
Leaders are problem solvers by talent and temperament, and by choice.
Harlan Cleveland
Those with visible responsibility for leadership are nearly always too visible to take responsibility for change.
Harlan Cleveland
For the problem of decision-making in our complicated world is not how to get the problem simple enough so that we can all understand it the problem is how to get our thinking about the problem as complex as humanly possible--and thus approach (we can never match) the complexity of the real world around us.
Harlan Cleveland
