“in most important ways, leaders of the future will need the traits and capabilities of leaders throughout history: an eye for change and a steadying hand to provide both vision and reassurance that change can be mastered, a voice that articulates the will of the group and shapes it to constructive ends, and an ability to inspire by force of personality while making others feel empowered to increase and use their own abilities.” WayNeedsFeelsImportantEndsUseHandsEyeForceVoiceLeadershipAbilityLeaderVisionGroupsInspirePersonalityShapesIncreaseCapabilityTraitsEmpoweredConstructiveReassurance Author:Rosabeth Moss Kanter
“To take full advantage of the potential in e-business, leaders must lead differently, and people must work together differently.

“Competition has never been more threatening than it is now. Innovative thinkers challenge the status quo in their organizations. They are often viewed as "troublemakers." They threaten the defenders of the status quo. So competition within an organization can also be brutal. The most effective leaders overcome "the ideology of comfort and the tyranny of custom" by being change agents themselves. They encourage and reward innovative thinking. I have observed that people only resist changes imposed on them by other people.” PeopleThinkingChallengesLeaderComfortOvercomingCompetitionTyrannyIdeologyThinkerBrutalThreateningStatus QuoInnovativeTroublemaker Author:Rosabeth Moss Kanter

“"Leadership" is a big topic today. We know that the world - nations and communities in addition to companies - needs more and better leaders. So I wanted to explore how leaders make a difference, how they can shift a negative cycle, turn around a losing organization, propel a team to victory when conditions aren't perfect. I saw that what leaders do is build confidence in advance of victory. Then the confidence they produce makes the hope of success turn into the reality of success, because people behave differently when they are surrounded by a culture of confidence.” PeopleWorldRealityTodayCultureCommunityPerfectLeaderTeamVictoryLosingNegativeBehaveMaking A Difference Author:Rosabeth Moss Kanter
“Confidence is not lodged in people's brains, it comes from the support system that surrounds them. Let's not confuse confidence overall with just self-confidence. Self-confidence is only one part of confidence. People also need confidence in others - their colleagues and leaders - that they can count on them to do the right thing and not to let them down.” PeopleBrainLeaderSupportRight ThingSurround Author:Rosabeth Moss Kanter
