9. Leadership qualities
“Because the modern organization is composed of specialists,
each with his or her own narrow area of expertise, its purpose
must be crystal clear. The organization must be single-minded, or
its members will become confused. They will follow their own
specialty rather than apply it to the common task. They will each
define “results” in terms of their own specialty and impose its
values on the organization. Only a focused and shared vision will
hold an organization together and enable it to produce. Without
agreement on purpose and values, the organization will soon lose
credibility and, with it, its ability to attract the very people it needs
to perform.
• Peter Drucker, Management Author

10. Half of the harm that is done in this world is caused by

The boss says “I”; the leader says “We”.
The boss places blame; the leader solves the problem.
The boss knows how; the leader shows how.
The boss uses people; the leader serves others.
