Great Leadership Quote

“Followers want comfort. stability, and solutions from their leaders, but that’s babysitting.  Real leaders ask hard questions and knock people out of their comfort zones and then manage the resulting stress.”

Ronald Heifetz and Donald Laurie, “The Work of Leadership,” Harvard Business Review, December 2001
