A Good Thought
“ Whoever knows how to restrain and effectively release power finds . . . that power flows back to him.”
A. Bartlett Giamatti

A Better Thought
“ Leaders who share their power and their time can accomplish extraordinary things. The best leaders understand that leadership is the liberation of talent; hence they gain power not only by constantly giving it away, but also by not grabbing it back.”
MG Perry Smith, “Learning to Lead” Marine Corps Gazette, Jan 1997
