💬 The more I struggled against becoming a leader, the more I was setting my own direction—and the more I was becoming a leader.

💬 Whenever I want to learn about something, I arrange to teach a course on the subject. After I've taught the course enough to learn something, I write a book.

💬 Leaders are leaders of change – change in other people, change in working groups, and change in organizations. Above all, leaders are leaders of change in themselves. To become a leader, you have to understand how change happens; yet it's difficult to see change in yourself.
