“We owe to those we lead a level of communication that goes beyond saying things once, and we owe them the time and creativity to make those communications clear and reasonable and compelling. The grace of our words, the urgency that synergizes, and the repetition that reminds—these things are our responsibility.”
Nancy Ortberg, Unleashing the Power of Rubber Bands: Lessons in Non-Linear Leadership

“Some discouragement is our own fault. The results of poor leadership ought to be discouraging. When our stubbornness, our pride, our lack of knowledge, or so many other possibilities create discouragement, the results are deserved. And it ought to be a prompt for apologies, correction, and growth.”
Nancy Ortberg, Unleashing the Power of Rubber Bands: Lessons in Non-Linear Leadership

“The disparity between the vision and the reality establishes a gap. And what fills that gap is strategy.”
Nancy Ortberg, Unleashing the Power of Rubber Bands: Lessons in Non-Linear Leadership
