"Leaders must wake people out of inertia. They must get people excited about something they've never seen before, something that does not yet exist"
- Rosabeth Moss Kanter
About this Quote
This quote by Rosabeth Moss Kanter speaks to the value of leadership in motivating and motivating people to take action. Leaders need to have the ability to produce a vision of something that does not yet exist and get people delighted about it. They should have the ability to break through the inertia of the status quo and get people to do something about it. This needs a leader to be able to believe outside the box and develop innovative services to problems. It likewise requires the leader to be able to communicate their vision in such a way that resonates with individuals and inspires them to do something about it. Leaders should be able to develop a sense of urgency and excitement around their vision in order to get individuals to take action. Eventually, leaders must be able to motivate and encourage people to take action in order to bring their vision to life.
"The opportunity to create a small world between two pieces of cardboard, where time exists yet stands still, where people talk and I tell them what to say, is exciting and rewarding"
