Leader
More quotes by Warren G. Bennis
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. The manager has his eye on the bottom line the leader has his eye on the horizon. The manager accepts the status quo the leader challenges it.
Warren G. Bennis
What job is worth the enormous psychic cost of following a leader who values loyalty in the narrowest sense.
Warren G. Bennis
Unlike top management at Enron, exemplary leaders reward dissent. They encourage it. They understand that, whatever momentary discomfort they experience as a result of being told they might be wrong, it is more than offset by the fact that the information will help them make better decisions.
Warren G. Bennis
You need people who can walk their companies into the future rather than back them into the future.
Warren G. Bennis
Too many companies believe people are interchangeable. Truly gifted people never are. They have unique talents. Such people cannot be forced into roles they are not suited for, nor should they be. Effective leaders allow great people to do the work they were born to do.
Warren G. Bennis
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.
Warren G. Bennis
Great groups give the lie to the remarkably persistent but incorrect notion that successful organizations are the lengthened shadow of a great woman or man. However, each great group has a strong leader. In fact, great groups and great leaders create each other.
Warren G. Bennis
The failure to find the right niche for people - or to let them find their own perfect niches - is a major reason that so many workplaces are mediocre, even toxic, in spite of the presence of talent. Leaders of great groups give them whatever they need and free them from everything else.
Warren G. Bennis
The manager has a short-range view the leader has a long-range perspective.
Warren G. Bennis
The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born.
Warren G. Bennis

Warren G. Bennis
Great things are achieved by talented people who are absolutely convinced that they not only can but will achieve them.
Warren G. Bennis
One of the worst mistakes is to do nothing.
Warren G. Bennis
There is a profound difference between information and meaning.
Warren G. Bennis
The new leader is one who commits people to action, who converts followers into leaders, and who may convert leaders into agents of change.
Warren G. Bennis
There are two ways of being creative. One can sing and dance. Or one can create an environment in which singers and dancers flourish.
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.
Warren G. Bennis
The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born - that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.
Warren G. Bennis
