The manager does things right the leader does the right thing.

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.

Possess the Nobel Factor: Possess and constantly demonstrate optimism, faith, and hope. They create choices. I am reminded of an ancient Chinese proverb: That the birds of worry and care fly above your head, this you cannot change but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent.

I used to think that running an organization was equivalent to conducting a symphony orchestra. But I don't think that's quite it it's more like jazz. There is more improvisation.

It is the capacity to develop and improve their skills that distinguishes leaders from followers.

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.

Power is the basic energy needed to initiate and sustain action or, to put it another way, the capacity to translate intention into reality and sustain it. Leadership is the wise use of this power: Transformative leadership.
