"Leadership is an active role; 'lead' is a verb. But the leader who tries to do it all is headed for burnout, and in a powerful hurry"
- Bill Owens
About this Quote
This quote by Bill Owens stresses the value of active management. Management is not a passive role, but rather a verb that requires action. However, if a leader attempts to do everything themselves, they will quickly end up being overwhelmed and tired. This is a warning to leaders to be conscious of their own constraints and to entrust tasks to others in order to prevent burnout. It is important for leaders to acknowledge that they can refrain from doing whatever by themselves which they need to depend on the help of others in order to achieve success.
