1 " Leaders succeed or fail depending on whether or not they clarify role expectations and keep their promises. "
― Bob Anderson , Mastering Leadership: An Integrated Framework for Breakthrough Performance and Extraordinary Business Results
2 " Leaders set the agenda for the future. "
3 " Once a good model gets inside you, it can inform and guide you throughout a lifetime. "
4 " A better model of leadership means more effective leadership and better business results. "
5 " Transformation is an acquired taste—not for the faint of heart. "
6 " When we step into positions of leadership, we make a whole set of promises we may not know we are making. "
7 " Leadership makes a difference in the results we create and the quality of life we live. "
8 " When direction and meaning are confined to Executive Leadership, value is minimized. "
9 " Great leaders create great cultures regardless of the dominant culture in the organization. "
10 " Leaders set the context and create the conditions in which individuals and organizations thrive. "
11 " When caution prevails, the truth is obscured. Collective effectiveness and intelligence rapidly erode. Performance suffers. "
12 " Initially, a start-up is dependent upon its founders for vision, leadership, direction, and management. It requires their guidance on a daily basis. As the start-up begins to realize some order of success, or begins to struggle, its future quickly moves beyond the brilliance of its founding leadership. It now requires the capability and capacity of its collective leadership. When present and functioning effectively, collective leadership removes the single point of failure—dependency on the founder—that many start-ups experience and expands the capacity and capability of the organization to lead its growth. "
13 " Developing leaders who can navigate complexity is now a strategic priority—and, if done well, a competitive advantage. Beyond developing competency and capability, we need to develop leaders with courage and compassion, consciousness and character. "
