Leaders must earn the trust of their teams, their organizations, and their stakeholders before attempting to engage their support.
Warren G. Bennis
Encourage dissent: Leaders should have associates who have contrary views, who are devil's advocates, variance sensors who can tell them the difference between what is expected and what is really happening, between what they want to hear and what they need to hear. There are too many naked emperors running around today.
Warren G. Bennis
Trust resides squarely between faith and doubt.
Warren G. Bennis
The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born.
Warren G. Bennis
In order to serve its purpose, a vision has to be a shared vision.
