An effective leader knows that the ultimate task of leadership is to create human energies and human vision.

…unless it is seen as the task of the individual manager and to the leadership group to lead change, the organization… will not survive.

Passion for one task can lead us to neglect the less exciting ones on our plate.

Meaning has become a central aspect of our work and our lives. Pursuing meaning obviously is no simple task.

…multitasking is essentially the juggling of interruptions, the moment when we choose to or are driven to switch from one task to another.

…a person who is interrupted takes 50 percent longer to accomplish a task and makes up to 50 percent more errors.

…people need frequent opportunities to complete tasks and build a sense of foreword momentum.

When our work is devoid of meaning, then even completing a long list of tasks cannot yield a genuine sense of accomplishment.

…at home and at work, women tend to believe we are cheating if we accept help, or we are inadequate if we can’t seamlessly transition between a wide variety of tasks.

…developing leaders to the point where they are able and willing to develop other leaders is the most difficult leadership task of all.
