If I were to give off-the-cuff advice to anyone trying to institute change, I would say, How clear is the metaphor?
Warren G. Bennis
Think of a crucible as an occasion for real magic, the creation of something more valuable than an alchemist could possibly imagine. In it, the individual is transformed, changed, created anew. He or she grows in ways that change his or her definition of self.
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
See the long view: By all means plant the corn, milk the cows, and feed the horses but always keep the eventual harvest in mind.
Warren G. Bennis
Innovation- any new idea-by definition will not be accepted at first. It takes repeated attempts, endless demonstrations, monotonous rehearsals before innovation can be accepted and internalized by an organization. This requires courageous patience.
Warren G. Bennis
The opposite of hope is despair, and when we despair, it is because we feel there are no choices.
Warren G. Bennis
Leadership is like beauty - it's hard to define but you know it when you see it.
Warren G. Bennis
