Have Theory; Will Travel
The lower part of page ten Fullan actually discusses Secrets

Leadership quotes; Page 3 About Welch and his policies...strong leaders with defective theories are particularly dangerous.

Page 4 Making a rip about Welch....Jack Welch had a lot of good leadership qualities; what he didn't have was a theory that travels....goes on to talk about adopting surface techniques of other companies and making known there are no shortcuts.

Page 6 on giving advice and cautioning doubt of said advice....Probably the two greatest failures of leaders are indecisiveness in times of urgent need for action and dead certainty that they are right in times of complexity.

NATALIE: I like the quote: "Learning is not doing; it is reflecting on doing" (p. 5). I also agreed with the statement: "Probably the two greatest failures of leaders are indecisiveness in times of urgent need for action and dead certainity that they are right in times of complexity" (p. 6). Not to get all political here, but I certainly see this as true with President George W. Bush. Look at 9/11 or Hurricane Katrina and this statement rings true.
