21. Leaders need to Simplify
“Great leaders are almost
always great simplifiers
who can cut through the
argument debate and
doubt to offer a solution
everybody can
understand.”
General Colin Powell
29. Empower Teams
“The temptation to lead as
a chess master,
controlling each move of
the organization, must
give way to an approach
as a gardener, enabling
rather than directing.”
General Stan McChrystal
30. Scale Decision Making
“Never tell people how to
do things. Tell them what
to do and they will
surprise you with their
ingenuity.”
General George Patton
35. Data needs Communication
“Simply reporting on metrics
and results at meetings will
not help your organization
grow and learn; instead, the
focus should be on reporting
across and sharing context. ”
General Stan McChrystal
