The great leaders……

…… are like the best conductors–they reach beyond the notes to reach the magic in the players.

Life is the leader’s…..

……laboratory, and exemplary leaders use it to conduct as many experiments as possible. Try, fail, learn. Try, fail, learn. Try, fail, learn. That’s the leader’s mantra. Leaders are learners. They learn from their failures as well as their successes, and they make it possible for others to do the same.
