  8. Motivation “If our goal is excellence, no artificial incentive can ever match the power of intrinsic motivation.” Alfie Kohn, HBR 1993 “And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by, from this day to the ending of the world, but we in it shall be rememb’red. This story shall the good man teach his son; …We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; for he to-day that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile, this day will gentle his condition.” Henry V, IV. iii

  9. Leadership “Leadership is the accomplishment of a goal through the direction of human assistants.” “His unique achievement is a human and social one which stems from his understanding of his fellow workers and the relationship of their individual goals to the group goal that he must carry out.” WHC Prentice, Understanding Leadership, HBR 1961 (reprinted January 2004)

  10. Trust • “Organizations are no longer built on force but on trust. The existence of trust between people does not necessarily mean that they like one another. It means that they understand one another. Taking responsibility for relationships is therefore an absolute necessity. It is a duty. Whether one is a member of the organization, a consultant to it, a supplier, or a distributor, one owes that responsibility to all one’s coworkers: those whose work one depends on as well as those who depend on one’s own work.” –Peter Drucker, “Managing Oneself,” HBR 1999
