General Norman Schwarzkopf
Circumstances of birth have no correlation to being a leader. Anyone and everyone is a leader.
You have to believe you can be a leader
Managers manage things, leaders lead people with hopes and dreams and ambitions
the challenge is to get people to willingly do that which they ordinarily would not do.
single most important thing is character (21:00).
virtues,
greed is a character failure
Leaders lead by example. leadership often causes you to make decisions that cannot be loved. But every great leader is respected. You can and should delegate their authority. The responsibility is always the leader's. Eventually we all got knocked off the pyramid of leadership.
If you can say to yourself at the end of your term, "wow what a great team we had. We did great stuff together. I'm really proud of what our team did."
Nothing ever gets better unless the leader admits that there is something wrong.
No defects is a stupid motto for leading people
Focus on improving weakness x,y,z rather than what your strengths are.
no organization gets better unless you admit that something is wrong. You have to have a reassuring atmosphere that allows people to speak up about what we can improve.
goals are only meaningful if everyone understands it, and more importantly if they understand the exact role they will play in achieving that goal. leader's focus everyone by setting goals.
establishing high standards and demanding them creates a great organization. 100% of all the people who go to work go to work to succeed. But how do they know they succeeded? standards. You establish standards for your organization and your people will willingly try to do better. Set them at a 100% you may get just 95% but set them at 70% you get 70%.
success is infectious. New leadership who introduces something that they can't fail at. Leaders reinforce success. Establish a latit
Great leaders never tell people how to do their job. They tell them what to do, reallocate resources, they establish standards, they establish timelines, they talk about expectations, all of that.
They understand that they don't know how to do every job better than everyone else, that's why they hire people. They understand that the whole is the sum of the parts. If you take people and you give them resources and let them use their initiative, to go out and do what they do best, if that's happening throughout your entire organization when all the pieces come together, the result is going to exceed anything you ever dreamed of because of human initiative.
All you have to do is apply these two great secrets:
Their country asked them to do it, and they did what was right.

All you have to do is apply these two great secrets:
- when placed in command, take charge. I may have just made the wrong decision, it doesn't matter. We've moved that problem into the workforce and they will make it into a good decision. They recognize the need to make things happen, they take action, and they take responsibility for it.
- Do what's right. He didn't tell me do what looks good, or do what you think the chief of staff would do. And we get back to the character idea again. When tough decisions have to be made, when you know what the popular decision would be, when you know what would make you look good (but not the right thing to do), that's when character comes into play.
