“People who are not leaders automatically gravitate toward lines--limitations set by others. Many people are taught this in kindergarten when they are instructed to stay within the lines while coloring. But leaders are more creative than that. They look for options and opportunities.

Progress and innovation are made by people who think without lines.” PeopleThinkingTryingLooksMadeOpportunityLeadershipLinesLeaderCreativeProgressTaughtLimitsInnovationLimitationKindergartenNew Directions Author:John C.
