More quotes by Warren G. Bennis

There are too many naked emperors running around today.
Warren G. Bennis

Warren G. Bennis

Warren G. Bennis
People who cannot invent and reinvent themselves must be content with borrowed postures, secondhand ideas, fitting in instead of standing out.
Warren G. Bennis
Judgment without character is expediency... or worse.
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
The first job of a leader is to define a vision for the organization...the capacity to translate vision into reality.
Warren G. Bennis
Successful leaders are great askers
Warren G. Bennis

Warren G. Bennis
