“...And in some sense, they’re almost like stages that leaders go through in their evolution of thinking about themselves like a leader.”
“People didn’t fall in a category. THe researchers were just trying to see how far they could stretch people’s views of what leadership [is] and where they stopped.”
“Unless you can have an aligned and good understanding of those things, the researchers suggest...there’s not much point in getting started with leadership development activities.”
