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
I am reminded how hollow the label of leadership sometimes is and how heroic followership can be.
Warren G. Bennis
Trust resides squarely between faith and doubt.
Warren G. Bennis
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
If I had to reduce the responsibilities of a good follower to a single rule, it would be to speak truth to power.
Warren G. Bennis
Judgment without character is expediency... or worse.
Warren G. Bennis
The organizations of the future will increasingly depend on the creativity of their members to survive. Great Groups offer a new model in which the leader is an equal among Titans. In a truly creative collaboration, work is pleasure, and the only rules and procedures are those that advance the common cause.
Warren G. Bennis
The opposite of hope is despair, and when we despair, it is because we feel there are no choices.
Warren G. Bennis
Ineffective leaders often act on the advice and counsel of the last person they talked to.
Warren G. Bennis
