"Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality." ― Warren G. Bennis Topic(s): Leadership More From Warren G. Bennis "Good leaders make people feel that they’re at the very heart of things, not at the periphery." "The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That’s nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born." "Excellence is a better teacher than mediocrity. The lessons of the ordinary are everywhere. Truly profound and original insights are to be found only in studying the exemplary." More In Leadership "With acknowledgement of residues, we can be more easily prepared to grant the unit of science, the overlapping of disciplines, and the total coherence of all facts."― Kenneth L. Pike "The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living."― Marcus Tullius Cicero "I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together."― Elizabeth II
