Tom Peters commenting on one of the many similarities in thinking between himself and Warren Bennis and Charles Handy:
"One area where Charles & Warren have got me dead to rights is the critical axiom that in order to lead effectively one must know oneself—not navel gazing, but the idea that your core values must not be left unexamined and that you simply must understand how you are understood by others. This is fully half of Charles's presentation. (And will become a larger part of mine.)
(I flatter myself, or resort to wishful thinking, when I say that Bennis & Handy & I might be called 'three peas from the same pod.')"
One reason I think we have a shortage of respected leaders is that so few people know themselves very well.
