Praise for The Book of Leadership Wisdom"For anyone who seeks to understand the nature of effective leadership, in all its many dimensions, this volume will prove invaluable." -Bob Wright President and Chief Executive Officer, NBC
Pearls from The Book of Leadership Wisdom
"You must capture and keep the heart of the original and supremely able man before his brain can do its best." -Andrew Carnegie
"There's an old proverb that says: 'If you are planning for one year, plant rice. If you are planning for 10 years, plant trees. If you are planning for 100 years, plant people.' To that I would add . . . plant them, but don't forget to move them around every seven to ten years. New eyes give rise to new ideas and opportunities." -Michael Eisner
"You must realize that it is more than money that the men want, it is a sense of ownership." -William Cooper Procter
"You can manage inventory, you can manage things, but you must lead people if you want to tap their full potential." -Ross Perot
