“By the time your perfect information has been gathered, the world has moved on.”
Phil Dourado, The 60 Second Leader: Everything You Need to Know About Leadership, in 60 Second Bites

“Simple is clever. Complicated just means you haven’t been clever enough to reduce ‘it’ to its essence.”
Phil Dourado, The Little Book of Leadership

“Vnutorna komunikacia prostrednictvom pribehov je zapamatatelnejsia, ako komunikacia prostrednictvom postupov. Postupy su slova. Pribehy su o spravani sa a cinoch.”
Phil Dourado, The 60 Second Leader: Everything You Need to Know About Leadership, in 60 Second Bites

The Mystery, Crim...: * Authors looking for reviewers 592 1695 Nov 24, 2025 02:36PM  
“There is an interplay between great leadership, events, trends, the organization, the people in it, the market 'out there' that goes far beyond one person exercising their will over others.

That's not what leadership is any more.”
Phil Dourado, The 60 Second Leader: Everything You Need to Know About Leadership, in 60 Second Bites

“When you trust your own abilities and those of the people around you, you overcome fear. And when the people you lead trust themselves and you - that you have their best interests at heart and are authentic - is when you and they will achieve the most.”
Phil Dourado, The 60 Second Leader: Everything You Need to Know About Leadership, in 60 Second Bites

“You can't dominate a network with old-style leadership.

But, you can emerge, with the network's consent, as one of its leaders, regardless of your formal position or job title.”
Phil Dourado, The 60 Second Leader: Everything You Need to Know About Leadership, in 60 Second Bites

“Facts and intuition are false opposites.
Leaders should listen to their intuition and instincts and allow others to do the same because they are sub-conscious, fast ways of processing, aggregating and then accessing evidence to reach a swift conclusion.
Trust your gut.”
Phil Dourado, The 60 Second Leader: Everything You Need to Know About Leadership, in 60 Second Bites

“Don’t look for leadership just at the top of the tree. Listen to leadership wherever it is expressed.”
Phil Dourado, The 60 Second Leader: Everything You Need to Know About Leadership, in 60 Second Bites
