More quotes by Warren G. Bennis
Don't over-react to the trouble makers.
Warren G. Bennis
Expect the best from your people and they will usually deliver but your expectations must be realistic.
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
Think of successful creative collaborations are dreams with deadlines.
Warren G. Bennis
If I were to give off-the-cuff advice to anyone trying to institute change, I would say, How clear is the metaphor?
Warren G. Bennis
Trust is difficult to define, but we know when it's present and when it's not.
Warren G. Bennis
Excellence is a better teacher than mediocrity.
Warren G. Bennis
People in great groups have blinders on. Their work is all they see. They value failures as learning opportunities. They are optimistic, not realistic, as they proceed from one challenge and crisis to the next.
Warren G. Bennis
Leaders wonder about everything, want to learn as much as they can, are willing to take risks, experiment, try new things. They do not worry about failure but embrace errors, knowing they will learn from them.
Warren G. Bennis
Leaders are people who do the right thing: managers are people who do things right. Both roles are crucial, but they differ profoundly. I often observe people in top positions doing wrong things well.
Warren G. Bennis
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
The ability to plan for what has not yet happened, for a future that has only been imagined, is one of the hallmarks of leadership.
Warren G. Bennis
Neotony is a metaphor for the quality of life - the gift - that keeps the fortunate of whatever age focused on all the marvelous undiscovered things to come.
Warren G. Bennis
Followers who tell the truth, and leaders who listen to it, are an unbeatable combination.
Warren G. Bennis
Great things are achieved by talented people who are absolutely convinced that they not only can but will achieve them.
Warren G. Bennis
Great Groups need to know that the person at the top will fight like a tiger for them.
Warren G. Bennis
We have more information now than we can use, and less knowledge and understanding than we need. Indeed, we seem to collect information because we have the ability to do so, but we are so busy collecting it that we haven't devised a means of using it. The true measure of any society is not what it knows but what it does with what it knows.
Warren G. Bennis
Around the world, the generals are being ousted, and the poets are taking charge.
Warren G. Bennis
All great leaders constantly seek new information and new ways of thinking.
Warren G. Bennis
Emotional intelligence, more than any other factor, more than I.Q. or expertise, accounts for 85% to 90% of success at work... I.Q. is a threshold competence. You need it, but it doesn't make you a star. Emotional intelligence can.
Warren G. Bennis
