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.

Warren G. Bennis
Companies which get misled by their own success are sure to be blind sided.
Warren G. Bennis
Some of the strongest resistance to necessary change is the result of what Jim O'Toole has so aptly characterized as the ideology of comfort and the tyranny of custom.
Warren G. Bennis
People in great groups have blinders on. Their work is all they see. They value failures as learning opportunities. They are optimistic, not realistic, as they proceed from one challenge and crisis to the next.
Warren G. Bennis
If I had to reduce the responsibilities of a good follower to a single rule, it would be to speak truth to power.
Warren G. Bennis
Without a terrific leader, you're not going to have a Great Group. But it is also true that you're not going to have a great leader without a Great Group.
Warren G. Bennis
I used to think that running an organization was equivalent to conducting a symphony orchestra. But I don't think that's quite it it's more like jazz. There is more improvisation.
Warren G. Bennis
Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery.
