John P. Kotter
Neurologists say that our brains are programmed much more for stories than for abstract ideas. Tales with a little drama are remembered far longer than any slide crammed with analytics.
John P. Kotter
Leaders establish the vision for the future and set the strategy for getting there.
John P. Kotter
A culture truly changes only when a new way of operating has been shown to succeed over some minimum period of time.
John P. Kotter
Most people don't lead their own lives - they accept their lives
John P. Kotter
