Changing behavior is less a matter of giving people analysis to influence their thoughts than helping them to see a truth to influence their feelings.

The central issue is never strategy, structure, culture, or systems. The core of the matter is always about changing the behavior of people.

Effective leaders help others to understand the necessity of change and to accept a common vision of the desired outcome.

The rate of change is not going to slow down anytime soon. If anything, competition in most industries will probably speed up even more in the next few decades.

Leadership defines what the future should look like, aligns people with that vision, and inspires them to make it happen despite the obstacles.

Leaders establish the vision for the future and set the strategy for getting there.

Without credible communication, and a lot of it, the hearts and minds of others are never captured.

A higher rate of urgency does not imply ever-present panic, anxiety, or fear. It means a state in which complacency is virtually absent.

We learn best - and change - from hearing stories that strike a chord within us.

Anyone in a large organization who thinks major change is impossible should probably get out.

Never underestimate the magnitude of the power of the forces that reinforce the status quo.

the holiest place on earth is where an ancient hatred has become apresent love.

Believe in your character. Animate (or write) with sincerity.

With a common ground, solution of problems is easy.

We are caught in the in between of what we already are what we are yet to be.

There are definitely reasons to do certain things, but I like to stick to good director, good actor, good script.

When I was growing up, I never heard anyone pray, "Give me this day my daily bread." It was always, "Give us this day our daily bread." That stuck. We're all in this together.

The man who has no mind of his own lends it to the priests.

I go through about two Fender mediums a night because I don't pick straight down; it's sort of sideways, and it shaves them off.

Try something new each day. After all, we're given life to find it out. It doesn't last forever.

Bring on all the pretenders!
