“It has become a commonplace that aggressiveness also often has its roots in fear. I am inclined to think that this theory has been pushed too far. [...] The type of aggressiveness that is the outcome of timidity is not, I think, that which inspires great leaders; the great leaders, I should say, have an exceptional self-confidence which is not only on the surface, but penetrates deep into the subconscious.” ThinkingShouldHas BeensSelfLeaderInspireTheoryTypeRootsSurfaceSelf ConfidenceOutcomesSubconsciousExceptionalPenetrateGreat LeaderCommonplaceTimidityAggressiveness Book:Power: A New Social Analysis Source: Power: A New Social Analysis

“I think in theory, the United States finds it much easier to deal with situations where there is a leading country. You can go to the leaders of that country and say, for example, to India, "There are all these problems in Bangladesh, we really have to do something about it, what do you suggest we can do to work out a common policy?" But when you don't have the equivalent of India, you have to go capital to capital trying to put together a coalition, which is extraordinarily difficult, especially in the Arab world, because of the historic rivalries and branches of Islam.” ThinkingWorldTryingCountryStatesProblemTogetherDifficultCan DoUnitedDealsCommonSituationLeaderUnited StatesPolicyExampleTheoryEasierIndiaIslamWork OutBranchesHistoricCoalitionsRivalryBangladeshArab World Author:Samuel P.

“I have always admired the Linking Pin theory of management specialist Rensis Likert. It says that in every organization there are leaders who link the lower level to the upper level.
