God is a word to express, not our ideas, but the want of them.
We know that leadership is very much related to change. As the pace of change accelerates, there is naturally a greater need for effective leadership.
Never underestimate the power of the mind to disempower.
Over the years I have become convinced that we learn best - and change - from hearing stories that strike a chord within us. . . Those in leadership positions who fail to grasp or use the power of stories risk failure for their companies and for themselves.
Great leadership does not mean running away from reality. Sometimes the hard truths might just demoralize the company, but at other times sharing difficulties can inspire people to take action that will make the situation better.
I'm impatient. Typically people think they know all about change and don't need help. Their approach tends to be more management-oriented than leadership-oriented. It's very frustrating.
In an ever changing world, you never learn it all, even if you keep growing into your 90s.
I was terrible student at Michigan, terrible. Because there was too much else to do. I was learning form too many other sources to go to class.
All literary men are Red Sox fans - to be a Yankee fan in a literate society is to endanger your life.
I almost dropped dead the first time I heard Bob Dole say 'gay marriage' on the floor of the senate. He wasn't saying nice things, but he said it! I never thought in my lifetime I'd hear that. I just think we're moving now at warp speed. Even when we take a step back like with prop 8, we take two steps forward.
Those who make us happy are always thankful to us for being so; their gratitude is the reward of their benefits.
