Great groups deliver great results. And for everyone involved in a great group, great work is its own reward.
Warren G. Bennis
We have more information now than we can use, and less knowledge and understanding than we need. Indeed, we seem to collect information because we have the ability to do so, but we are so busy collecting it that we haven't devised a means of using it. The true measure of any society is not what it knows but what it does with what it knows.
Warren G. Bennis
Leaders must encourage their organizations to dance to forms of music yet to be heard.
Warren G. Bennis
The manager administers the leader innovates.
Warren G. Bennis
That is the key challenge facing management today change is the only constant.

Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery. Everyone feels that he or she makes a difference to the success of the organization. When that happens people feel centered and that gives their work meaning.

Listening to the inner voice - trusting the inner voice - is one of the most important lessons of leadership.
Warren G. Bennis
Leaders wonder about everything, want to learn as much as they can, are willing to take risks, experiment, try new things. They do not worry about failure but embrace errors, knowing they will learn from them.
Warren G. Bennis
Trust resides squarely between faith and doubt.

To be authentic is literally to be your own author... to discover your own native energies and desires, and then to find your own way of acting on them.
Warren G. Bennis
I'd always rather err on the side of openness. But there's a difference between optimum and maximum openness, and fixing that boundary is a judgment call. The art of leadership is knowing how much information you're going to pass on - to keep people motivated and to be as honest, as upfront, as you can. But, boy, there really are limits to that.
Warren G. Bennis
Without character, there is no credibility and without credibility, there is no trust.
Warren G. Bennis
Walt Disney, of all people, did a good job of describing his own netony. People who have worked with me say I am 'innocence in action,' he wrote. They say I have the innocence and unselfconsciousness of a child. Maybe I have. I still look at the world with uncontaminated wonder.
Warren G. Bennis
Just as no great painting has ever been created by a committee, no great vision has ever emerged from the herd.
Warren G. Bennis
Successful leadership is not about being tough or soft, sensitive or assertive, but about a set of attributes. First and foremost is character
Warren G. Bennis
Judgment without character is expediency... or worse.
Warren G. Bennis
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.
Warren G. Bennis
Leaders are people who do the right thing: managers are people who do things right. Both roles are crucial, but they differ profoundly. I often observe people in top positions doing wrong things well.
Warren G. Bennis
Taking charge of your own learning is a part of taking charge of your life, which is the sine qua non in becoming an integrated person.
Warren G. Bennis
Make sure you have someone in your life from whom you can get reflective feedback.
