Little value comes out of the belief that people will respond progressively better by treating them progressively worse.

Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.

No one enjoys addressing others’ deficiencies. But failure to do so sends the message that people are on track when they really aren’t. And that may be the greatest disservice a leader can do to someone else.
