Leadership is not just about giving energy ... it's unleashing other people's energy.
In getting good results team leaders become conductor rather than driver, enabling others to play the right music, not by hands-on domination of all decisions and execution, but by providing inspiration, motivation and stimulus.
Lead from the front.
Leadership is... to make sure you never limit the idea or opportunity.
Good leaders must communicate vision clearly, creatively, and continually. However, the vision doesn't come alive until the leader models it.
For me, I understood the gift of being able to empower others and to not do everything yourself.
It's easier to talk about leadership if you haven't had to do it.
Leadership is not always about getting things done 'right.' Leadership is about getting things done through other people.
I'm proud of my ability to understand what somebody else is trying to do and help them achieve it, because part of the aesthetic of improvisation is service. You never say no. Serve the servant, follow the follower. And that's very valuable in your life, as well as very valuable in your actor's work. I'm damn proud of my ability to help other people achieve their ideas.
The real role of leadership in education ... is not and should not be command and control. The real role of leadership is climate control, creating a climate of possibility.
Leadership is not communicating what we need. Leadership is communicating what we can contribute.
