If great teams don't have an enemy, they create one for themselves because, as former Coca-Cola CEO Roberto Goizueta pointed out, you can't have a war without one.
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
More leaders have been made by accident, circumstance, sheer grit, or will than have been made by all the leadership courses put together.

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

Walt Disney, of all people, did a good job of describing his own netony. People who have worked with me say I am 'innocence in action,' he wrote. They say I have the innocence and unselfconsciousness of a child. Maybe I have. I still look at the world with uncontaminated wonder.
Warren G. Bennis
A leader is someone whose actions have the most profound consequences on other people's lives, for better or worse, sometime forever and ever.
Warren G. Bennis
Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery. Everyone feels that he or she makes a difference to the success of the organization. When that happens people feel centered and that gives their work meaning.
Warren G. Bennis
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
Charisma is the result of effective leadership, not the other way around.
