In life, change is inevitable. In business, change is vital.
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
Trust is the lubrication that makes it possible for organizations to work.

The leader...is rarely the brightest person in the group. Rather they have extraordinary taste, which makes them more curators than creators. They are appreciators of talent and nurturers of talent and they have the ability to recognize valuable ideas.
Warren G. Bennis
Government is like an onion. To understand it, you have to peel through many different layers. Most outsiders never get beyond the first or second layer.
Warren G. Bennis

Warren G. Bennis
Growing other leaders from the ranks isn't just the duty of the leader, it's an obligation.
Warren G. Bennis
Understand the Gretzky Factor: Cultivate an instinct, a touch, call it what you will, that enables you to know both where the puck is now and where it will be soon.
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
If knowing yourself and being yourself were as easy to do as to talk about, there wouldn't be nearly so many people walking around in borrowed postures, spouting secondhand ideas, trying desperately to fit in rather than to stand out.
Warren G. Bennis
All claims deserve consideration but some claims are more important than others.
Warren G. Bennis
Great Groups need to know that the person at the top will fight like a tiger for them.
Warren G. Bennis
If you're the leader, you've got to give up your omniscient and omnipotent fantasies - that you know and must do everything. Learn how to abandon your ego to the talents of others.
Warren G. Bennis
