capacity grows determine
Your capacity to grow determines your capacity to lead.
effort leader conscious
The highest form of leadership is one in which a leader raises up other leaders - not as an accident, but as a result of conscious effort.
thinking leader done
Leaders don't ever "arrive." If we ever think we're done, we are done!
thinking winning organization
Organizations who win, think deeply, choose wisely, and act decisively.
leader needs should
If you feel the need to make everyone happy, you should be a wedding planner not a leader.
tired practice gone
Many of our leadership practices have gone from being tried and true to being tired and tarnished.
character ideas people
You kind of worry for the characters in a way that you don't normally in sci-fi, because sci-fi tends to be about the ideas, and this is about people.
opportunity readiness
Others control our opportunities, we control our readiness.
book gay boys
The success [of the X-Men], I think, is for two reasons. The first is that, creatively, the book was close to perfect ... but the other reason is that it was a book about being different in a culture where, for the first time in the West, being different wasn't just accepted, but was also fashionable. I don't think it's a coincidence that gay rights, black rights, the empowerment of women and political correctness all happened over those twenty years and a book about outsiders trying to be accepted was almost the poster-boy for this era in American culture.
waiting forever titles
You can lead with or without a title. If you wait until you get a title, you may wait forever.
stars fun war
It's been a very interesting exercise as a writer - writing a little family group, like The Incredibles or The Simpsons or something like that, and setting it in a big Star Wars-type setting. It's been really fun, definitely different from the kind of thing I normally do.
cutting past anchors
The past is an anchor with suffering written on the rope. I don't live there now. I am cutting myself free.
skills decision decision-making
Decision-making is a skill. Wisdom is a leadership trait.
glasses air half
The glass is always completely full-half air and half liquid.
