HDI Tip of the Day
“One of the problems with standard leadership courses is that they focus exclusively on skills and produce managers rather than leaders, if they produce anything at all.

As CalFed CEO Robert Dockson put it: “The things that matter most can’t be taught in a formal classroom setting.”” – Managing People is Like Herding Cats, by Warren Bennis
