Pàgina 60 - Change does not take place through a coercive attempt by the individual or by another person to change him, but it does take place if one takes the time and effort to be what he is—to be fully invested in his current positions. By rejecting the role of change agent, we make meaningful and orderly change possible.
Pàgina 44 - Leadership is not the private reserve of a few charismatic men and women. It is a process...
Pàgina 40 - It is only through the recognition of your emotions that you can be aware, as a biological organism, either of what you are up against in the environment or of what special opportunities are at the moment presented.
