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
Great groups deliver great results. And for everyone involved in a great group, great work is its own reward.
Warren G. Bennis
Without character, there is no credibility and without credibility, there is no trust.
Warren G. Bennis
In great groups, the right people always have the right job.

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
Vision animates, inspires, transforms purpose into action.
