“No leader sets out to be a leader. People set out to live their lives, expressing themselves fully. When that expression is of value, they become leaders. So the point is not to become a leader. The point is to become yourself, to use yourself completely – all your skills, gifts and energies – in order to make your vision manifest. You must withhold nothing. You, must, in sum, become the person you started out to be, and to enjoy the process of becoming.”
– Warren Bennis, Leadership Expert
「沒有領導者的出發點是成為領導者,他們的出發點只是過日子,並完全地展現自己,但當那個展現俱有價值,他們就會成為領導者。所以重點不是成為領導者,而是成為你自己,完全地運用自己 – 你所有的技能、天賦及能量 – 好讓你的願景得以實現。你必須毫無保留,你必須,簡而言之,成為你一開始就想成為的人,並享受那個成為的過程。」– 華倫.班尼斯 (領導力專家)
