Many years ago, I think I got my first insight on how an incredibly diverse team can work together and do astonishing things, and not just misunderstand each other and fight.

The central issue is never strategy, structure, culture, or systems. The core of the matter is always about changing the behavior of people.

Effective leaders help others to understand the necessity of change and to accept a common vision of the desired outcome.

The rate of change is not going to slow down anytime soon. If anything, competition in most industries will probably speed up even more in the next few decades.

Leadership defines what the future should look like, aligns people with that vision, and inspires them to make it happen despite the obstacles.

Leaders establish the vision for the future and set the strategy for getting there.

Without credible communication, and a lot of it, the hearts and minds of others are never captured.

A higher rate of urgency does not imply ever-present panic, anxiety, or fear. It means a state in which complacency is virtually absent.

We learn best - and change - from hearing stories that strike a chord within us.

Changing behavior is less a matter of giving people analysis to influence their thoughts than helping them to see a truth to influence their feelings.

Anyone in a large organization who thinks major change is impossible should probably get out.

I've become a real housewife. Terry doesn't mind me working, in fact he loves me to be independent. But I only get an allowance of $15 dollars a week, which doesn't go very far.

To injure your opponent is to injure yourself.

Good manners without sincerity are like a beautiful dead lady.

It's a little weird when people turn around and look at you, but I don't mind. I really don't think I've changed.
