Besides being focused on satisfying today’s customers, leaders must be looking to the distant horizon.

What truly motivates people is not money.

…it is your job to grow the talent of each individual whom you lead.

…if I ask a leader to deliver a project with a key set of attributes by a specific date and that leader doesn’t challenge me, that leader has made a commitment.

As a leader of individuals, you are responsible for getting stuff done through the people you lead.

…exceptional leaders know what they expect, and they let the leaders they lead know what those expectations are.

…give new leaders difficult immediate challenges with clear sets of expectations and deadlines… You may consider this ‘throwing someone in the deep end to see if he can swim.’ You would be correct. The timing for doing this is perfect at the beginning.

You want to be able to see trouble coming and be able to deal with it before it is obvious.

Circumstances do not make up the motivation of the team. It is always the leader.

…the exceptional leader is like organized lightning, with both a calming presence and the intensity that raises the whole energy of the situations they engage.
