A Quote From Better Humans, Better Performance
- "I use this example of a river...Imagine the leader trying to cross this river. And if there's a strong current, it's going to be these currents much more than any individual movements of the leader that will determine where he or she ends up on the other side. And it's the leader’s interaction with these currents that will make or break their endeavor, rather than their actions themselves."
