Leadership Produces Change. That Is

Managers Are Trained To Make Incremental, Programmatic Improvements. They Aren't Trained To Lead Large-scale Change.

People Change What They Do Less Because They Are Given An Analysis That Shifts Their Thinking Than Because They Are Shown A Truth That Influences Their Feelings.

Leadership Is About Setting A Direction. It's About Creating A Vision, Empowering And Inspiring People To Want To Achieve The Vision, And Enabling Them To Do So With Energy And Speed Through An Effective Strategy. In Its Most Basic Sense, Leadership Is About Mobilizing A Group Of People To Jump Into A Better Future.

Because Management Deals Mostly With The Status Quo And Leadership Deals Mostly With Change, In The Next Century We Are Going To Have To Try To Become Much More Skilled At Creating Leaders.

We Keep A Change In Place By Helping To Create A New, Supportive, And Sufficiently Strong Organizational Culture.
