“Occasionally we hear the story of an organizational leader who, having given powerful leadership to an institution, comes toward the end of his working life and keeps holding on to leadership long after he should have let it pass into the hands of someone in a younger generation.

They provide a momentary lift, but they will not last.”

“Nothing makes you feel more naked than someone identifying a desire you never knew you possessed.”
